Interactive Photovoltaic Power Conversion Equipment

The purpose of this part of IEC 63106 is to provide recommendations for Low Voltage (LV) AC
power simulators used for testing utility interactive photovoltaic power conversion equipment
(PCE).
NOTE Low Voltage refers to 1 000 Va.c. and less.
The AC power simulators connect to the AC output power port of a PCE under test and simulate
the utility grid by generating comparable AC voltage.
The AC power simulators can be used to test a PCE’s utility interaction characteristics, including
protection, ride through, immunity and power quality. The requirements and procedures are
specified in IEC standards and local utility grid requirements, selected by the network operator,
utility, or authority having jurisdiction.
