DEDL Introduces Modular PV Solar Module/ Array Simulator
DEDL has released Solar PV module and array simulator with advanced features that simulates I-V curve of any type of PV module using intelligent front end software to enable module/array performance under different conditions like temperature, irradiance etc. It is a programmable dc power source that simulates output characteristics of any type of PV solar module and array.
The simulated output is primarily a current source with fast response and is supported with intelligent front-end software that simulates any curve based on Voc, Isc, Vmp, Imp parameters or manually programmed points. It provides simulation of Voc (open circuit voltage) up to 121V and Isc (short circuit current) up to 10.5A. The source is highly stable and has a fast transient response design, which are both advantageous for MPPT performance evaluation on PV inverter devices.
The PC screen shows the power profile automatically through Soft Panel based on user defined Vmp, Imp, Voc and Isc. In manual mode user can define 50 current and voltage points for the SAS120/10 to emulate a PV solar module with up to 72 cells by performing linear approximation between points to provide a smooth output curve.
Customizable data logging functionality allows report generation and data analysis for micro inverters or dc maximisers to check their performance with different power curves data with different environmental condition different conditions, such as different temperatures and irradiance values.
