| | Top Performers’ Toolbox: Recently Published Content | | | | | | | Application Note: Advanced Inverter Certification with Programmable Power Systems Discover how ERDA modernized its testing environment to support accurate, repeatable, and standards-based certification of advanced inverters.
As solar, hybrid, and grid-tied inverter technologies become more sophisticated, certification laboratories must accurately reproduce real-world grid conditions.
ERDA needed to replace legacy testing systems that lacked the speed, waveform flexibility, and power capacity required for modern inverter certification. The new platform combines AC grid simulators, bidirectional DC sources, and software-driven automation to improve test accuracy, consistency, and
high-power testing capability. | | | | | Driving Renewable Energy Quality: ERDA’s State‑of‑the‑Art
270 KVA Solar Inverter Testing Infrastructure The Electrical Research and Development Association (ERDA) operates testing, evaluation, field services, and research facilities supporting India’s electrical and power sector. ERDA established a dedicated laboratory for compliance and performance testing of solar inverters, intended to support both grid‑tied and off‑grid products. |

Spotlight – Asterion DC Half Rack Series | | | Spotlight -Asterion DC
Half‑Rack Series 1.7 kW of programmable DC power—now in a compact 1U half‑rack design.
The Sorensen Asterion DC Half‑Rack Series, delivers trusted Asterion‑class performance in a smaller, more cost‑effective form factor. Designed for space‑constrained test environments, it provides 1.7 kW of high‑performance programmable DC power, without compromising on control, connectivity, or reliability. | | |
| Launch Kit Includes: Note that the launch kit is also available on the Sales Portal under Resource Library > Marketing Materials (Programmble Power) > Launch Kits. | | | | | Coming Soon: Mi-BEAM Power Rack The Mi‑BEAM Power Rack is a high‑efficiency, bidirectional DC power system designed
for high‑power applications across data centers, battery testing, energy storage, microgrids, and aerospace. With energy regeneration capability, it returns power back to the grid, reducing operating costs while minimizing heat dissipation. For scalability, parallel up to 33 racks to achieve power levels up to 8.6MW. | | | | | Monthly Application Training Sessions | | | | |
