Grid simulation with Cinergia GE+ series

Introduction Cinergia GE+ Series
CINERGIA’s Grid Emulators are AC programmable voltage sources especially designed to create AC grids and emulate its disturbances. Thanks to its bidirectional power hardware, the test energy can be regenerated to the electrical grid.

Applications
Grid emulators are designed to emulate Electrical Grids in AC. The equipment is 4-quadrant regenerative, so the energy can be re-injected to the power grid.
Thanks to this regenerative concept it is ideal as test solution for PV inverters, microGrid simulation and energy saving applications.

Features
As an AC programmable voltage source, it can create different electrical networks such as three phase power grid (3F+N) from 0 to 480Vac, power grid with variable frequency from 0 to 400Hz and 400Hz aeronautic network.
In addition it can create disturbances for testing purposes as voltage harmonics, up to 15th independent per phase, Flickers (programmable amplitude and frequency), Overvoltage, Interruptions and voltage dips (balanced and unbalanced), Programmable variations in frequency and Programmable Z Impedance of grid.

The new + model features
The newly developed controller board simplifies norm testing, such as SEMI F47 and IEC-61000-4-11, greatly.
New are the analog inputs where the output of the converter will be the same waveform as the analog input. This enables the use of the GE+ units as amplifier.

Available models and output voltages
The GE+ AC series ranges from 7.5kVA to 1200kVA. The output voltage (L-N) can be set from 0 to 277Vrms and (L-L) from 0 to 480Vrms with a base frequency of 10 to 400Hz.
