Photovoltaic grid-connected inverter test equipment

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 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).

Why should a photovoltaic inverter be automated?

Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic test and analysis system to provide the necessary test data and means to support the performance of the photovoltaic inverter. The use of automation technology can effectively save manpower and time, improve the efficiency of test and reduce the error of personnel operation , , .

What is penetration testing in PV inverter?

Penetration testing provides a detailed overview of PV inverter security issues. The analysis is conducted by simulating a real hacker attack during the prototype development phase.

What is an on-grid photovoltaic power system?

An on-grid or grid-connected photovoltaic power system is tied to the local utility mains or grid. They are typically used for residential or commercial applications where any unused power generated is sent to the utility grid where it can be stored and used later.

Are PV inverters safe and reliable?

As vital components of PV systems, PV inverters must be safe and reliable. PV inverters are critical components of PV power systems, and play a key role in ensuring the longevity and stability of such systems. The relevant standards ensure that your inverters perform safely, efficiently and with wide applicability.
