English term or phrase: solar photovoltaic power generation simulator power-supply apparatus
A method for artificially generating the output characteristic of a solar photovoltaic power generation module, and a *solar photovoltaic power generation simulator power-supply apparatus* having that output characteristic with the internal power loss reduced.
The *solar photovoltaic power generation simulator power-supply apparatus* comprises a control signal circuit that controls the power so as to maintain the output at the voltage associated with the current on the designated IV curve; and a power conversion main circuit from which series resistors have been eliminated.

power supply apparatus = appareil d'alimentation
simulator = simulateur?
solar photovoltaic power generation = générateur photovoltaique solaire

j'ai des problèmes avec 'simulator', je ne comprends pas ce qu'il vient faire là.

appareil d'alimentation de simulateur de générateur photovoltaic solaire?

Suivant les indications de Tony, c'est vrai que faire un brevet sur un appareil d'alimentation, c'est pas très original...

Je dirais donc quelque chose comme ça:

Appareil d'alimentation simulant la production d'énergie photovoltaïque solaire

Explanation:
I don't know at all about the correctness of this as the FR term, I'm merely trying to re-use your own words to explain my understanding of this horribly unwieldy EN expression!

This is a special power supply (presumably, a mains power supply) that merely behaves in the same way as a photovoltaic system — notorious for having a rather tricky apparent internal impedance, and hence, non-linear I/V characteristic. So this special power supply is designed to simulate this characteristic in a special way — presumably for test or similar purposes.

  -> Thanks, Ronat! Yes, sounds like a non-native struggling to write patent-ese, doesn't it?

disagree  GILOU: I can understand that you hide your answer but if there's a peergrading it's rude to hide and propose again. You could have added a note in your previous answer....

  -> J'ai bien relu l'explication et je pense que tu as raison, je vais rajouter une note. Merci

agree  Proelec: OK for "...simulant la production ...". D'accord avec Tony, sinon je ne vois pas bien l'intérêt du brevet ....
2 hrs
  -> Oui tout à fait. J'espère que c'est clair car je ne peux pas modifier ma première réponse

agree  Catherine CHAUVIN: oui, c'est bon. Je viens justement de faire une traduction sur le sujet. Il faut de l'énergie pour trouver les bons mots... :-)

  -> Oui, et ce n'est pas de la simulation !
