KEYSIGHT - PV8900

Keysight’s photovoltaic (PV) simulator includes the hardware and software to test a single maximum power point tracking (MPPT) inverter accurately.
The Keysight Technologies PV8900 Series PV array simulator includes:

• PV8921A Photovoltaic Array Simulator, 1500V, 30A, 20kW, 400/480 VAC
• PV8922A Photovoltaic Array Simulator, 2000V, 30A, 20kW, 400/480 VAC
• PV8931A Photovoltaic Array Simulator, 1500 V, 60 A, 30 kW, 400/480 VAC
• PV8932A Photovoltaic Array Simulator, 2000 V, 30 A, 30 kW, 400/480 VAC

The Keysight Technologies PV8900 Series PV array simulator provides up to 30 kW autoranging, single-output programmable DC power. The autoranging output characteristic enable a wide range of voltage and current combinations at full power. Power supplies with “rectangular,” or traditional, output characteristics provide full power at only one voltage and current combination.
Test PV voltages up to 2000 V and 60 A with a single supply. DG9000 Series software licenses are available to test string inverter with 4-, 8-, or 12-MPPT channels. Most string inverter solutions test one MPPT channel at a time — leading to test inaccuracies. Keysight's DG9000 advanced PV inverter software can test up to 12 MPPT channels simultaneously.
The PV8900 Series provides stable output power, built-in voltage and current measurements, and autoranging output voltage and current. These supplies offer many system-ready features like multiple standard I/O interfaces to simplify and accelerate testsystem development and compact 3U (20 kW) or 5U (30 kW) design to save rack space. If you need more power, you can easily parallel multiple units to create “one” power supply with up to 600 kW of total output power. The built-in primary/secondary control enables programming as if it’s just one big power supply; no need to program each supply individually.

Features:

• Output up to 2000 V and 30 kW in a 3U package
• Test up to 600 kW channels with parallel units
• Select built-in curves or create a custom table using up to 1024 points
• DG9000 Series software simplifies single and multi-MPPT inverter tests
• Use as a standard 30 kW autoranging supply for DC sourcing
• Connectivity includes LAN (LXI Core), USB, and GPIB
