Software 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).
