The Renewable Energy Measurement Challenge
As renewable energy sources become increasingly integrated into power grids, accurate high voltage measurement has never been more critical. Our Standard Voltage Divider AC High Voltage Series addresses the unique challenges posed by solar farms, wind power installations, and other renewable energy facilities. These precision instruments provide reliable voltage measurement for grid connection compliance, performance optimization, and maintenance operations in demanding environmental conditions.
Precision Monitoring for Solar Energy Applications
In large-scale solar installations, our voltage dividers enable precise measurement of inverter output voltages up to 35kV AC. The series features exceptional DC rejection capability, ensuring accurate AC measurement in the presence of significant DC components commonly found in photovoltaic systems. With temperature stability of ±10 ppm/°C and accuracy class 0.2%, these devices maintain reliable performance throughout daily temperature variations typical in solar farm environments.
Wind Power Generation Requirements
For wind turbine applications, our dividers provide robust measurement solutions capable of withstanding vibration and harsh weather conditions. The hermetically sealed construction protects against moisture, salt spray, and contaminant ingress, making them ideal for offshore wind farm applications. The extended frequency range (15-1500 Hz) accommodates generator harmonic analysis and power quality assessment essential for maintaining grid stability.
Grid Connection Compliance Testing
Our voltage divider series facilitates compliance testing according to IEEE 1547 and IEC 61727 standards for renewable energy interconnections. The devices provide measurement data necessary for verifying voltage ride-through capability, frequency response, and power quality requirements. Integrated digital interfaces allow direct connection to compliance testing equipment, streamlining the certification process for new renewable energy installations.
Harmonic Analysis and Power Quality
Renewable energy sources can introduce harmonic distortions into power systems. Our dividers feature bandwidth up to 5kHz with flat frequency response (±0.5 dB), enabling accurate harmonic measurement up to the 100th harmonic. The low phase shift design ensures correct power factor measurement, crucial for assessing the true impact of renewable generation on grid power quality.
Remote Monitoring and Data Integration
Modern renewable energy facilities require continuous monitoring capabilities. Our enhanced models offer optional Ethernet and fiber optic interfaces for integration into supervisory systems. The dividers can provide real-time voltage data for performance monitoring, fault detection, and preventive maintenance planning. Compatibility with industry-standard protocols ensures seamless integration with existing energy management systems.
Environmental Durability and Reliability
Designed for operation in extreme environments, our dividers meet IP67 protection standards and operate reliably in temperature ranges from -40°C to +65°C. The stainless steel construction and special coating provide corrosion resistance essential for coastal and industrial environments. These features ensure long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements, reducing lifecycle costs for renewable energy operators.
Conclusion
The Standard Voltage Divider AC High Voltage Series offers renewable energy professionals accurate, reliable measurement solutions tailored to the specific demands of clean power generation. By providing precise voltage data for compliance testing, performance monitoring, and maintenance operations, these instruments play a vital role in ensuring the successful integration of renewable energy sources into modern power grids.
