Photovoltaic Array Simulator (PV Inverter Test, PV Simulator, SAS)

In the photovoltaic industry, the performance of solar(PV) inverters is very important.
In particular, the solar(PV) inverter should be able to find the maximum power point(MPPT) in the solar array and convert it to maximum power. However, it is not easy to verify the performance of the inverter's MPPT algorithm. ODA Technologies' solar(PV) array simulation solution can be used to verify the performance of the MPPT algorithm for the test of solar inverters up to 1500V.
With test solution, the MPPT efficiency of a solar inverter can be measured with the European EN50530 standard and the United States SANDIA standard (inverter test protocol), and the MPPT algorithm can be verified and then optimized or evaluated.
