NHR 9510-500 Regenerative Grid Simulator

NH Research's 9510-500 Regenerative Grid Simulator is a high-power, multifunctional testing solution intended for grid-tied applications. It offers versatile testing capabilities for both AC and DC systems, with an operational capability of up to 500kW or 1181kVA. It is appropriate for a range of power settings since it enables several configurations, such as independent channel modes or 3-phase AC outputs. Regenerative testing is made possible by the NHR 9510-500's ability to function as both a sink and a power supply when in 4-quadrant mode. It also has an integrated power amplifier mode, which is perfect for Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) applications and improves research lab and product development settings' testing capacities.

With the ability to simulate common power disturbances like low voltage ride through (LVRT) patterns, this simulator is specifically built for accurate grid modeling and verification. The NHR 9510-500 produces extremely precise and reproducible test results by simulating complicated grid events using user-definable waveforms and macros. Quick test preparation and execution are made possible by the user-friendly interface that provides access to these pre-programmed sequences. In PHIL simulations, where real-time feedback is crucial, the dual-range output function guarantees more flexibility and accuracy.

To facilitate compliance testing for standards such as IEEE1547.1 and UL1741, the NHR 9510-500 is equipped with an advanced digital measurement system. Long-term events, like the "enter service" test, are difficult to measure with traditional techniques; our solution makes it possible. Measuring clearing times and ramping durations is made simple by the simulator's unique software features and data collecting capabilities. The NHR 9510-500 can simplify compliance reporting and guarantee conformity to standards by reporting cycle-specific occurrences through the creation of event lists.

Multiple interfaces are available for controlling this simulator, providing flexibility for varying testing needs. It has an integrated touch-panel for easy manual control and can be fully programmed using National Instruments software such as LabVIEW and VeriStand. A remote soft-panel interface provides further capabilities for sophisticated testing, such as the ability to alter waveforms and manage comprehensive test programs.
