Grid Simulators Are Smart Power Sources
The Californer/10293308

VISTA, Calif. - Californer -- Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers how to pick the right grid simulator that best fits the needs of your project requirements. Choosing a grid simulator for an application is a matter of understanding available functions and key operating parameters, such as voltage, current, power, and output frequency.

Grid simulators supply AC and DC electrical power under the many conditions exhibited on an electrical power grid and can accurately measure bidirectional power from DUTs or loads capable of generating power. A regenerative grid simulator can manage fully four-quadrant electrical power while returning a high percentage of power to the grid for testing under "green" energy operating conditions.

Specifying a grid simulator involves reviewing electrical and mechanical parameters. Essential electrical parameters for power generation include AC voltage range, DC voltage range, AC and DC current ranges, frequency range, and maximum power. Operating configurations include single-phase, split-phase, and three-phase modes. In terms of mechanical specifications, the size and weight of a grid simulator is synonymous with its maximum power capabilities, with the highest-power grid simulators usually requiring a rack-mounted, floor-standing measurement system in which high efficiency relates to the system's operating costs.
