Abstract SPICE piecewise linear resistor (PWLR) and piecewise current‐controlled (PWCC) current source models are applied to represent conventional loads of PV systems, namely, a washing machine, a refrigerator, lights and a d.c.–a.c. converter. The parameter extraction for these models has been performed by experimental measurements. A complete system of 440 Wp has been simulated and the results compared to experimental measurements. Future application advanced dispatching strategies and intelligent load management are indicated as possible uses of these models. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
