October 2, 2024 - Vista, California - Transcat | Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment
rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Grid
Simulators Are Smart Power Sources" 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. Learn more about the most important equipment

As the number of electrical devices in everyday use around the world continues
to grow, the importance of grid simulators for electrical product testing also grows.
Because they can emulate the characteristics of electrical power grids at the touch
of a button, grid simulators can provide electrical power in the many forms found
on a grid and can subject an electrical device under test (DUT) to the variety of
operating conditions that it must handle under real-world use. 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. Regenerative grid simulators can return
the generated power to the grid, or a facility using the grid simulator and are
often characterized in terms of operating efficiency as a way of showing how much
power they can return to the grid during testing. Many DUTs work with applied active
electricity and produce reactive power in a bidirectional flow which is typically
represented by a four-quadrant diagram to show the different states of electricity
within the DUT. 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. Grid simulators
may incorporate a waveform generator to produce harmonics and distortion which can
be useful in emulating grid power conditions. Grid simulators also provide extensive
measurement capabilities, such as for characterizing voltage, current, power, and
frequency. In terms of mechanical specifications, the size and weight of a grid
simulator is synonymous with its maximum power capabilities, with the highest-power

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
