Performance Test Protocol for Evaluating Inverters Used in Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems
Abstract
Interconnection equipment that connects distributed resources (DR) to an electrical power system (EPS) are expected to do so efficiently. Standardized test procedures are necessary to establish methods for verifying inverter performance that leads to comparable results. These test procedures are provided as a repeatable, independent means of measuring inverter performance regarding maximum continuous power rating, conversion efficiency, and tare loss characteristics.
