Key Features and Key Benefits

Regenerative operation

•Return power to the AC mains when sinking power from the DUT

•Minimizes interference with other electronics with clean regenerative operation

•Reduce energy consumption and cooling cost with less electricity usage and heat dissipation

Autoranging output

•Create many more voltage and current combinations than a traditional power supply (rectangular output)

•Achieves maximum power availability at any output voltage

•RP7980 does the job of multiple power supplies

Source and sink current

•2-quadrant operation with no glitches, like a battery

•Continuously sink up to 100% of its rated current

•Seamless, uninterrupted transitions between sourcing and sinking current

Photovoltaic (PV) Array Simulation

•Accurately simulate of the I-V curve characteristics of a PV array under different environmental conditions

•Quickly test inverter MPPT circuits and algorithms

•Up to 2000V output enables testing to higher inverter voltages and emerging solar power plant technologies
