Emulate Dynamic DC Input Conditions

A dynamic inverter input test requires a controllable high-power DC source connected to the inverter under test, with voltage and current conditions programmed to represent the operating profile being evaluated. The source should establish the required steady-state operating point and then reproduce controlled changes in DC conditions while the inverter input voltage, current, and response are monitored. The test can cover steady operation as well as rapid transitions used to evaluate transient behavior.

For a repeatable sequence, program the source conditions and apply the transition while recording the inverter response. Bidirectional operation allows the source to deliver power or absorb power from the device under test, supporting both power-sourcing and power-absorbing test conditions. The DC emulator's high dynamics and fast command processing can be used to follow rapid voltage and current changes, while regenerative operation returns absorbed energy to the grid.

Dynamic Inverter DC Emulation Solution

Connect the inverter input to a programmable high-power DC source and apply controlled voltage and current profiles while monitoring its response. The SL1800A Series provides bidirectional source and regenerative sink operation for high-power applications, with integrated DC voltage and current control and high dynamic response. The current product family spans 50 to 300 kW configurations and up to 1500 V, with extendable systems and parallel operation for higher power. The platform can emulate battery behavior and is designed for applications including high-power charging, DC microgrids, and renewable-energy storage systems.
