The cu en on he al e na ing cu en (AC) side is calcula ed:
The ou pu powe o he al e na ing cu en in e e is calcula ed using he e iciency o he

𝑃𝐴𝐶 =𝑃𝑖𝑛𝑣 × 𝜂 (4.8)
𝑃𝐴𝐶 =8 𝑘𝑊×0.986=7.888 𝑘𝑊 (4.9)

Now, o ge he cu en on he AC side, we use he o mula o a h ee-phase ne wo k:
𝐼𝐴𝐶 =𝑃𝐴𝐶

Whe e is he ol age be ween phases: 𝑉𝐿−𝐿
𝐼𝐴𝐶 =7888 𝑊
√3×400𝑉=11.39 𝐴 (4.11)
The e o e, he cu en on he AC side is 11.39 A.
On he DC side, he 4 modules a e connec ed in se ies. The ol age o each se ies will be equal
o he ol age o one module mul iplied by he numbe o modules in he se ies. Since each
module has a ol age o 40.66 V, he o al ol age o each se ies will be:
𝑉𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 =𝑉𝑚𝑝 × 𝑛º 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑙𝑠 (4.12)
𝑉𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 =40.66 𝑉 × 8=325.28 𝑉 (4.13)
The open-ci cui ol age is:

𝑉𝑂𝐶𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒 =49.91𝑉×8=399.28 𝑉 (4.15)
The cu en in a se ies will be he same as he cu en in a module, i.e., 12.66 A. As he e a e 2

The o mula o ol age d op is:

To calcula e he ene gy p oduc ion o he sys em, we use he speci ic ou pu o he modules and

We add he p oduc ions o he wo g oups o modules:
