Photovoltaic inverter test power supply manufacturer

How do I test a photovoltaic (PV) inverter?

Keysight’s photovoltaic (PV) simulator includes the hardware and software to test a single maximum power point tracking (MPPT) inverter accurately. Test PV voltages up to 2000 V and 60 A with a single supply. DG9000 Series software licenses are available to test string inverter with 4-, 8-, or 12-MPPT channels.

What is a photovoltaic inverter?

A photovoltaic or PV inverter, converts the direct current (DC) output of a solar cell or array into an alternating current (AC) that can be fed directly into the electrical grid (Grid Tie), used by a local electrical grid (Off-Grid), or both (Hybrid Inverters).

What is a grid tie PV inverter?

Grid Tie PV Inverters (GTI) are equipped with micro-controllers that synchronizes generated power to the grid. The grid-connecter inverter converts the DC energy collected by the photovoltaic solar panels to AC power which is then either consumed or transferred to the local utility grid.

What is a solar array simulator DC power supply?

Solar Array Simulator DC Power Supplies by Chroma provide programmable simulation of Voc (open circuit voltage) up to 1800V and Isc (short circuit current) up to 30A. The 62000S-H series provides an industry leading power density in a small 3U high package.

What is a programmable solar array simulator power supply?

The latest programmable solar array simulator power supply 62000H-S Series released by Chroma provide simulation of Voc (open circuit voltage) up to 1800V and Isc (short circuit current) up to 30A. The 62000H-S provides an industry leading power density in a small 3U high package.

How many data points are in a photovoltaic I-V curve?

Each I-V curve is formed with maximum 4096 data points of voltage and current. The photovoltaic I-V curve model of Sandia Lab and EN50530's built in the softpanel allows the user to input the maximum dc input power (Pmax), I-V Fill Factor, Vmin, Vnom and Vmax desired to test the PV Inverter.
