Keysight DG8901A Solar Array Simulator Control Pro Software
Key Features and Functions
- Easily view and control your N8900APV Series PV Simulator from the Control tab
- Perform simple functions, such as setting voltage, current, OVP, as well as turn the output on/off
- Set the instrument mode: SAS or Power Supply
- View the programmed I-V and power curves, maximum power point, and the active I-V and power points (SAS mode only)
- Quickly create and download photovoltaic I-V curves from the Curve Workspace tab
- Create PV curves according to Sandia, EN50530, and Keysight’s proprietary (N8900APV) models
- Choose between Basic and Advanced curve generation
- Graphically view the curve before sending it to the instrument
- Create static and dynamic EN50530 test reports with one click from the MPPT Efficiency tab (DG8901A upgrade required after 30-day free trial)
- Automated test to the EN50530 standard
- Automated reports formatted to the EN50530 standard
- Full log file with all the measurements from the test
Hardware Solutions:
Quickly create, visualize, and execute photovoltaic / solar I-V curves
Keysight's PV simulation solution consists of the PV8900A Series PV simulator hardware and two software packages to choose from: the DG8900 SAS control/curve generation software and the DG9000 advance/multi-input PV inverter test software.
The PV simulators are autoranging, programmable DC power sources that simulate the output characteristics of a photovoltaic array under different environmental conditions (temperature, irradiance, age, cell technology, etc.) enabling you to quickly and comprehensively test inverter MPPT algorithms and inverter efficiency.
The DG8900 SAS Control software allows the user to control one PV8900A (or one primary/secondary set) output as well as easily create, visualize, and download solar / photovoltaic I-V curves to the instrument using the Curve Workspace. Once a curve has been downloaded to an PV8900A, the user can enable the output and watch as their PV inverter searches for the maximum power point, gaining insight into their MPPT algorithm.
The DG9000 software allows the user to control the output of from one to twelve PV8900A units (or primary/secondary combinations).
