POWER ELECTRONICS LABORATORY

The Power Electronics Laboratoty provides the ability to evaluate power converters used in PV systems.
Indicative services

  • Measurement of electrical efficiency curve, calculation of European efficiency and mapping of efficiency as a function of voltage and power
  • Evaluation of the quality of the delivered electric power (calculation of the coefficient of harmonic deformation, measurement of the injected component of direct current, etc.)
  • Checking compliance with International and European standards (assessment of the protection against islanding operation, measurement of leakage currents, determination of frequency and voltage thresholds, etc.)
Main Laboratory Equipment
  • Programmable PV array simulator
  • Grid voltage simulator (Programmable AC power supply)
  • Programmable ohmic and inductive loads
  • Power quality meter
  • Power meters
  • Oscilloscopes, current amplifiers, precision multimeters, thermal imager, etc.
Examples of tests carried out in the laboratory are shown here.
