New smart series of ac/dc power sources and electronic loads

By Michelle Froese | April 25, 2024

Pacific Power Source, a global provider of ac and dc power test solutions, released its regenerative product line to support the growing demand in electrification, including the All-in-1 AGX Regenerative ac/dc Source, 2-in-1 RGS Regenerative Grid Simulator, and RLS Regenerative Load Simulator.

These bidirectional sources and loads emulate real-world power flows that are ideal for testing the utility grid, EV chargers, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), Vehicle-to-Home (V2H), Solar PV/grid-tied inverters, home energy storage systems, avionics power converters, and more.

The new SmartRegen products have greater than 90% energy efficiency and a high-power density with up to 21kVA in a single 4U chassis, saving costs and space. The voltage ranges cover 350VLN / 606VLL in ac mode or ±500Vdc in dc mode with exceptionally high ac capability.

The system’s fully galvanic-isolated design and protection features protect the operator and UUT so users can test with confidence.

Simultaneous ac and dc operation of modes per phase, and the automatic switching of output modes provides test engineers with a unique capability and the highest degree of flexibility. Multiple, user-friendly control options provide the user with extensive control of ac and dc test parameters.

Engineers and Researchers can select from a wide range of test sequences or easily create their own with built-in powerful custom waveform creation and measurement tools. Additionally, Pacific Power’s embedded proprietary SmartSource Suite remote-control platform provides the most advanced real-time control and analysis on the market today. Fully develop and execute test sequences using the web browser interface reducing testing time.

“Our new line of regenerative test solutions offers the highest level of flexibility, performance, and intelligence,” said Herman Vaneijkelenburg, director of Marketing for Pacific Power Source. “These test systems integrate a high-tech 4-Quadrant design in Silicon Carbide (SiC)-technology to support superior voltage range, current and power specifications to enhance performance. Compact, powerful, versatile, and easy to use, our mission is to innovate how you test with smart power to make it simpler, safer, more productive, and sustainable.”

This new level of performance, flexibility, and intelligence simplifies testing for the engineer, increases productivity, and reduces testing time.

  • AGX Series Regenerative 4 Quadrant ac/dc source: This All-in-One test solution can address a range of test applications and markets. The multi-functional test system can be used as a fully programmable ac/dc power source, current source, and electronic load featuring ac, dc, and ac+dc output capability and an extended frequency range up to 3000Hz.
  • RGS Series Regenerative Grid Simulator: This next generation 2-in-1 grid simulator is designed for the testing and verification of all grid-tied applications. Emulate almost any grid condition and test to regulatory compliance standards such as IEEE 1547, UL 1741, IEC 61000-3, IEC 61000-4, and more.
  • RLS Series Regenerative Load Simulator: This Four-quadrant ac and dc electronic load is designed for testing any ac and dc load applications. The RLS features several ac and dc emulation modes and provides flexible configurations of single, split and 3-phase operation, and steady-state or transient execution.
