Functions and Advantages
Applications
Test Solution- Micro-inverter, power optimizer
High response speed
The IT-N2100 Series photovoltaic simulator delivers ultra-fast current loop performance, with a loop speed of up to 500 kHz and support for MPPT tracking up to 250 Hz. Its I-V curve consists of up to 4096 data points, closely matching the real output of a photovoltaic array.
When the MPPT tracking frequency increases, slower simulators may fail to follow the I-V curve accurately, which can compromise test reliability. In contrast, the IT-N2100 series maintains precise output according to the preset I-V curve, even under high-frequency MPPT conditions, ensuring reliable and accurate solar PV testing.
Low noise of output current
The high fundamental frequency noise of the PV simulator affects theMPPT and current sampling precision of the inverter. The low currentnoise and pure signal of the IT-N2100 series ensure the accuracy ofthe test.
5 PV modes
The IT-N2100 Series offers 5 built-in photovoltaic (PV) modes, all accessible directly from the front panel. These modes include:
- Built-in I-V curve models compliant with multiple standards
- Four-point method for quick I-V generation
- Table tracing point method for high-resolution curves
- Fixed mode for constant output simulation
- List programming for dynamic sequences
The simulator accurately replicates solar array I-V outputs, with a large graphical display showing real-time MPPT status of micro-inverters, power optimizers, and other DUTs.
Additional features include:
- USB import of custom model files
- Multi-channel operation via dedicated PV software for convenient system integration
With these flexible modes, the IT-N2100 series ensures precise, real-time simulation of complex PV conditions for advanced testing environments.
