Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5949590

This report summarizes the results of the engineering evaluation of the Delta Electronic Controls Corporation (DECC) Model 61289-32 residential, photovoltaic power conditioning subsystem (PCS). The PCS is rated at 6 kW dc input and operates in the utility interactive mode with no provisions for energy storage. The evaluation examined PCS power flow and control, operation at temperature extremes, array and utility interface characteristics and interactions, PCS emanations and susceptibility to electrical noise. All testing was conducted at the Sandia National Laboratories PCS test facility in accordance with the Performance and Evaluation of Single-Phase Utility-Interactive Power Conditioners for Photovoltaic Applications (SAND83-1802) procedures.
