6 FAQs about [Calibration procedures for photovoltaic inverters]

How do I test a PV inverter?

Use an AC / grid emulator to load and test the inverter’s output. Verifying the performance of PV inverters under varying weather and load conditions requires simulating solar arrays in the lab and AC / grid.

What is a photovoltaic inverter test?

Tests cover the inverter operation, performance and safety, the photovoltaic array installation, the system operation and applicable instrumentation. The tests described are suitable for inverter and/or system acceptance purposes or can be performed at any time for troubleshooting or to evaluate inverter/system performance and operation.

How to test a PV / solar array?

Use a programmable DC power source to help simulate real-world PV / solar arrays, and test them against various environmental factors such as temperature, irradiance, age, and cell technology. Make sure to test the inverters according to the industry standards, such as EN50530, which provides a procedure for measuring the efficiency of MPPT.

What is advanced photovoltaic inverter test software?

Advance photovoltaic inverter test software evaluates single and multi-input inverters - test up to 12 MPPT algorithms simultaneously. Test inputs up to 2000 V. Testing electric vehicle (EV) battery cells requires characterization and then optimization of a battery cell's chemistry and material.

Which inverter is required for a combined PV and storage system?

Combined PV and storage system topologies will generally require a bi-directional inverter, either as the primary inverter solution (DC-coupled) or in addition to the unidirectional PV inverters (AC-coupled).

Does CalLab PV cell have a calibration program?

CalLab PV Cells continues to develop additional calibration experience, allowing for measurements which do not (yet) fall under the accreditation. These calibrations and measurements are performed with the same equipment and reference standards as accredited calibrations.
