Thank you for your continued support. This is Japan Kernel System Co., Ltd. From Osaka, which feels a bit lonely after the conclusion of the Osaka-Kansai Expo, we are sending you the 47th issue of Epsilon Communication. ─▼──────────────────────────────────── Table of Contents [1] DC Simulation Power Supply for Perovskite Solar Cells [2] Case Study of Outdoor Exposure Measurement System for Solar Cells with Data Transmission Function [3] Editor's Note ─▲─────────────────────────────────── You can view the continuation on our company website.

In recent years, there have been reports of cases where high-efficiency solar cells (such as N-type and half-cut cells) cannot measure I-V curves using competitor products or the old Epsilon 1000 (PVA14300). However, measurement is possible with the current Epsilon 1000 (PVA14300R) and Epsilon 1500 (PVA18340). Both the current and old models of Epsilon have a built-in overcurrent detection circuit, which prevents equipment failure by cutting off the current and stopping I-V curve measurement if the measurable current exceeds 30 [A] (when overcurrent is detected). High-efficiency solar cells tend to have a large inrush current flowing into the Epsilon, leading to a higher frequency of measurement stoppages due to overcurrent detection with the old Epsilon. Even if the catalog value of the solar cell is around 15 [A], the actual output current can momentarily exceed 30 [A] significantly. The current Epsilon is equipped with an inrush current prevention circuit that performs gradual short-circuit processing. This suppresses the occurrence of overcurrent during short circuits, making measurement possible even when the capacitive component of the PV is large. Measurement is also possible with the Gamma series and Delta.

We have renewed the product features and applications to make them easier to understand, so please take a look. ーーーーーーーーーー This is a next-generation load device composed solely of passive components (resistors, reactors, capacitors) that allows for the setting of active/reactive power (leading/lagging). By connecting a computer software to a power meter, constant power control is possible even when the voltage changes. In evaluating power supplies and measuring instruments (such as power conditioners, UPS, power factor transducers, etc.), tests can be conducted without worrying about control resonance or load responsiveness that may occur when using electronic loads. Additionally, when evaluating power conditioners, using our grid connection testing software in conjunction allows for automatic execution of everything from load adjustment for anti-islanding tests to test implementation and report generation, significantly reducing the man-hours required for testing.

Our (Chuo Ward, Osaka) grid connection testing environment has been renewed! ● Testing capacity has increased! 6 [kW] → 8 [kW] ● Smooth automatic testing is possible using the "Grid Connection Automatic Testing Software." https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/product/autoTest/ ● A new product, "Testing Script Creation Software," is also available. https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/product/autoTest/testscript_index.html You can also utilize partial tests, such as "remote output control function testing only" or "standalone operation testing only," on an hourly basis. ▼ For more details ▼ https://www.kernel-sys.co.jp/support/p_pdf/AutomaticTest.pdf Our staff will be present to support the testing.
