Photovoltaic (PV) arrays have become very popular in on-grid and off-grid systems due to their simplicity, low emissions and low levelised costs of electricity. PV arrays are connected to grid systems via power electric converters and typically have embedded maximum power point tracking algorithms. Describe how a PV system with maximum power point tracking may be modelled in a dynamic simulation package.

Good old Florida! As an alum of UCF, you also plan to use an off-grid power system. While you absolutely adore four-wheel drive, you bought a plug-in hybrid car, for cost efficiency. Estimate the number of excess solar panels you would need to add to your off-grid power system in order to keep your car charged up without ever burning a drop of gasoline.
