Additional Features

Seamless Grid Simulation with Constant Power Voltage Range

Accurately simulate the power grid with seamless transition of voltage ranges. A single constant power voltage range for both higher current at lower voltage and higher voltages at lower currents eliminating the need to switch between voltage ranges. This prevents potential disruptions in output power.

AGX RGS RLS Highest Current Availability

Best-in-Class Current Availability

The RGS Grid Simulator provides a broader range of current eliminating the risk of over or under sizing the power source. This reduces the need for additional capital investment. The diagram to the right illustrates the RGS’s capability to provide 20% more current from 120V to 200V when compared to a typical unit that maxes out at 35A/phase.

Regenerative Grid Simulator Interharmonics Waveform and Measurement Diagrams

Easily Simulate Harmonics AND Interharmonics

The Regenerative Grid Simulator – RGS Series has a built-in waveform digitizer and scope with fast transient capabilities at 100us time resolution supporting LIST, PULSE and STEP modes.  Waveform generation includes ten Standard, Sine, Square, Triangle, Clipped and Harmonics AND inter-harmonics generation.

Grid Simulator to test the Microgrid

Accurately Emulate the Grid and Test to Grid Compliance Standards

The increasing development of grid-connected devices requires accurate compliance testing to meet regulatory standards such as IEEE 1547 and UL 1741.  Regenerative grid simulators are ideal for simulating voltage sags, brownouts, and other real-world disturbances. 

In this webinar, you’ll learn how smart control, flexibility, and advanced hardware performance can provide significant advantages for testing pre-compliance, LVRT, interoperability, harmonics and flicker, immunity, anti-islanding, and more.

Most Flexible Output Configuration for Testing Grid-Tied Products

Simultaneous AC and DC operation of modes per phase(or channel), and the automatic switching of output modes provides test engineers with a unique capability and the highest degree of flexibility. AC, DC output configurations are available in single, split, three phase and multi-channels with optional isolated neutrals in AC and DC.

NOTES

Current values shown are per phase for 2 or 3 phase mode. In 1 phase, current would be times 3.

Note 1: Rated power shown is for Three Phase or Single Phase mode operation. For Split Phase mode, rated power is 2/3.

Note 2: For Voltages above 350Vac some frequency and Vthd restrictions apply.

Note 3: Above 200Hz max current derates with Option F.

Grid Simulation Applications:

The RGS Series simulates any power disturbance and distorted waveforms, ideal for testing the utility grid, microgrid, EV chargers, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), Solar PV/grid-tied inverters, home energy storage systems, UPS, PDUs, and more. The load option offers a complete solution if needed.

Electronic Load Mode Applications:

With this option, the RGS turns into an AC or DC electronic programmable AC or DC load with 4-Quadrant capability. This mode allows for realistic test scenarios and a more energy efficient test process. Application examples include Electric Vehicle bidirectional on-board chargers (OBC), DC-DC converters between the HV battery and 12Vdc or 48Vdc subsystems. In DC mode, load mode is available to sink DC current for battery discharging or for testing regenerative breaking subsystems.
