LV Test Facility Uses
• Characterise single and multiple inverters in terms of:• Power quality• Transient behaviour• Anti-islanding performance• Performance
• Validate standard test methods (e.g. IEC62116) and design new approach for less than ideal condition e.g. noisy grid situations
• Help model development by providing real-life behaviour of physical units
• Develop advanced control methods to support the grid in high penetration scenarios.
