Application Note: Advance Inverter Certification with Programmable Power Systems
Discover how ERDA modernized its testing environment to support accurate, repeatable, and standards-based certification of advanced inverters.
As solar, hybrid, and grid-tied inverter technologies become more sophisticated, certification laboratories must accurately reproduce real-world grid conditions.
ERDA needed to replace legacy testing systems that lacked the speed, waveform flexibility, and power capacity required for modern inverter certification. The new platform combines AC grid simulators, bidirectional DC sources, and software-driven automation to improve test accuracy, consistency, and high-power testing capability.
