Developing Renewable Energy Products for Power Measurement
Application Notes
Green power products have many challenges in the design, testing and characterization stages. Developing products that will likely face extreme environmental conditions and be expected to last for years (or decades) in the elements presents challenges when looking for the proper test tools.
A typical renewable power system will include a generator (solar panels, wind turbines, hydro-electric turbine, etc.), a DC to AC inverter, a controller and some sort of bus(es) for communication. An oscilloscope is often used in the design of the inverter, controller and communication buses.
