Solar Array Simulation Software (SASControl)
The powerful application software SASControl opens up convenient possibilities both for the definition of specific array curves and for the live-assessment of static and dynamic MPP tracking. I-V curves are calculated with high accuracy in real-time. SASControl fully complies with the efficiency measurement procedures for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar inverters as described in EN 50530. Core to the application software SASControl is a versatile script programming system which allows the easy implementation of individual programming sequences. Report generation of measured data is included.
Key features & functionality
– Remote connection to TC.P device / system via PC interfaces, e.g. USB or LAN interface
– Easy generation and simulation of characteristic I-V curve of solar panels according to EN 50530 standard
– Parameter based operation, simple script programming for automated processes up to seven devices for multi-string simulations
– Consideration of the theoretical MPP value for tracking efficiency calculation
– Display and logging of various actual and set value
Time function engine (TFEAAP)
The time-based function engine TFE is a powerful function creator working in the time domain able to generate nearly each voltage/current/power-to-time function. TFE runs as a firmware in real-time on board of each REGATRON DC power supply. Programming and setup of TFE functionality is done by TopControl Software – the versatile application and service tool coming with each DC power supply. This powerful tool allows for entering, saving and recalling of complex test sequences. Base functions like sine, triangle, rectangle can be directly called. Furthermore user defined curves with up to 1000 points and linear interpolation can be entered and stored. Amplitude, frequency, offset and symmetry can be combined in a simple way. User-defined function sequences with a resoluation of 50 µs can be saved in the memory of TC.P and may be recalled at any time. Exporting, importing and even off-line data processing is possible with a text editor.
A second feature of time-based TFE is called application area programming AAP. This feature allows the definition of a functional interdependency of DC output quantities like current, voltage or power compared to another process variable. Function is given by a user-defined slope or a table of value pairs. By this, TC.P power supply behaves like a two pole network with defined characteristics. As mentioned under TFE heading, AAP is refreshed also every 50 µs, ensuring a fast response to any parameter variation. Relevant example: voltage dependent output current of a PV-panel or current dependent output voltage of a fuel cell.
Safety Interface (ISR)
Integrated safety relay (ISR) for increased emergency stop reliability, supporting performance level PL c / PL e according to EN ISO 13849
AC Filter Discharge (XCD)
Discharging of the AC filter (XCD), is mandatory when using the device with a plug connection. XCD ensures a discharge time of the AC filter <1 s as required by EN 62477-1
