Numerous studies were performed to evaluate the performance of photovoltaic power systems (PV systems), including maximum power control of the solar cell, effects of the PV systems on distribution feeders, long‐term performance of the PV systems, etc. To estimate the performance of PV systems, the output characteristics of the solar cell should be taken into consideration. This paper proposes a new method of the simulated power source (SPS) to analyze the PV system. The SPS is under the control of the 10 cm 2 reference solar cell, hence, the output characteristics of the SPS are in proportion not only to the static output characteristics of the reference solar cell, but also the dynamic ones.
