Renewable Energy

The Power to Test microgrid and solar energy, Efficiently.

Engineers around the world are hard at work on developing the next generation of environmentally friendly renewable energy solutions. And the results are exciting. Developments in solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal power can help us meet our energy needs while mitigating the planet-warming effects of burning fossil fuels. Suppliers of renewable energy systems can meet just about any need, whether it’s a system that provides hundreds of watts or one that can supply a megawatt or more. Voltages for these modern renewable energy systems can be as high as 2,000 VDC, and they may be designed to supply currents reaching thousands of amps.

One of the most exciting things happening in renewable energy are microgrids. A microgrid is a small group of electric power sources and consumers that is normally connected to the commercial power grid but can also operate separately from it. A microgrid can provide backup power should the commercial grid go down and reduce costs by feeding the power generated on the microgrid into the commercial grid. Micro-grids may include a wide variety of power generators, including solar arrays, fuels cells, bi-directional EV/PHEV chargers, and wind turbines. They may also include energy storage devices such as batteries.

To test these microgrid systems, which may have a variety of inputs and produce high power output, you need flexible and efficient test equipment. EA Elektro-Automatik’s line of DC power supplies, electronic loads and bidirectional power supplies have features that allow you to effective test today’s renewable energy technologies. EA’s PSI, EL, ELR and PSB product lines can provide up to 2000 VDC, with auto-ranging and on-board arbitrary waveform and function generation. This flexibility allows EA to produce or sink power needed to simulate real world conditions and perform reliable and efficient tests.
