Keysight Technologies has launched a new family of photovoltaic (PV) array simulators that delivers 2000 V and 20 kW of power in a 3U format, enabling engineers to maximize solar power conversion.
Multiple MPPT inverters provide flexibility for large commercial arrays but create a test challenge as current solutions test one MPPT channel at a time. The Keysight PV8900 Series along with the DG9000A advanced photovoltaic inverter test software goes beyond existing standards, testing up to 12 MPPT channels simultaneously.
“The next generation of string inverters developed and manufactured by our customers require higher voltage, higher power density and exceptional control capability in design qualification and manufacturing test,” said Christopher Cain, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Electronic Industrial Products. “Keysight’s PV8900 series PV simulators enable automated testing to accelerate time to market and lower operational costs.”
