Precision and reliability are non-negotiable in the power generation and distribution sector. Dewesoft’s Power Analyzer steps in to ensure these features are not just met but exceeded. Particularly in the area of solar inverter testing. It assists PV Inverter manufacturers in adhering to international norms. Achieved by conducting comprehensive power tests and calculations of voltage and currents. Ensuring compatibility with diverse standards globally. Including AS/NZS 62109 for grid code compliance, and guarantees performance under extreme weather conditions.
Given the different physical power combinations across the globe, there are many regulatory bodies, each setting standards specific to their locale. In Australia, for example, the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) oversees the nation’s major gas and electricity markets, while Standards Australia leads in developing and publishing standards, which become part of legislation and regulatory frameworks.
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) also plays a pivotal role in Australia’s power industry. Especially concerning renewable energy sources like solar inverters. The CEC oversees installer accreditation. In addition, it ensures solar and battery products, including those undergoing solar inverter testing, meet both Australian and international standards for quality and safety.
Dewesoft’s contribution to this field is highlighted in their application note, “Power Inverter Certification According to Standards and Grid Codes,” which underscores the value of advanced power analyzers in certifying solar inverters.
