PV8931A

PV8931A is a photovoltaic (PV) array simulator. It enables you to develop, verify and optimize the performance of your inverter maximum power point tracking algorithms. Developing and verifying the performance of inverter maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms is challenging. MPPT algorithms are complex, and under-the-sun testing with a comprehensive set of temperature and irradiance conditions is difficult, expensive and time consuming. Use the Keysight PV8931A photovoltaic array simulators in your design laboratory or on your manufacturing line to simulate the output characteristics of a real-world photovoltaic array. The PV8931A PV array simulator is an auto ranging, programmable DC power source that can quickly simulate I-V curve characteristics under different environmental conditions (temperature, irradiance, age, cell technology and more), enabling you to quickly and comprehensively test your solar inverters.
