AB Advancing decarbonization critically depends on the integration of PV systems into microgrids.However, this integration faces challenges, including the variability of photovoltaic solarenergy production, the demands of energy management, and the complexities of grid synchronizationand communication. To address these challenges, a PV emulator platform is an essential tool. Thispaper presents a novel four-layer PV emulator platform that seamlessly integrates power systems,control systems, measurement instrumentation, and communication processes. The proposed platformenables the emulation of I-V curves and the dynamic adjustment of operating points—includingboth the maximum power point (MPP) and power reserve point (PRP)—as well as temperatureand irradiance while providing sufficient power capacity for microgrid integration. To validate itseffectiveness, the platform was assessed for its capability to adjust operating points, such as MPPsor PRPs, under varying irradiance and temperature conditions. The results show that the platformeffectively adjusts operating points with a deviation of less than 5% from theoretical values andsuccessfully tracks a sequence of operating points. This performance underscores the platform’spotential in integrating and managing PV systems within microgrid environments, thereby advancingthe path to decarbonization.
