Solar Array Simulator based Grid tied System :
-
This is a dual-stage SAS-based grid-integrated system that utilizes the iTech Solar Array Simulator (SAS1000). The SAS1000 is connected to the inverter's DC link via a boost converter. The inverter is interfaced with the grid through an LC filter and a three-phase delta-to-star transformer. The entire system is managed by a National Instruments (NI) sbRIO controller, which is programmed using NI LabVIEW software for efficient operation and control.
- Programmable I-V curves via SAS1000 profiles
- Closed-loop DC bus regulation with boost stage
- Real-time telemetry & interlocks on sbRIO system.
- Repeatable PV conditions without outdoor dependencies
- Faster firmware validation & HIL experiments
- Improved safety through programmable limits & trips
Solar Integration:
Advanced dual-stage topology ensures stable MPPT emulation across irradiance and temperature sweeps, enabling repeatable lab testing for grid-tied inverters.
