This PV-Trainingsystem is ideally suited for training in schools, training centres, and universities in the fields of electrical and system engineering , construction, mode of operation, connecting and installation of PV-plants.
It can be used both for demonstration as part of lessons and courses as well as for use in practical training.

The system consists of individual plug-in units each with components for different experimental configurations. These plug-in units are placed in a racking and connected according to requirements using plug-in connectors.
Experiments are possible indoors using a PV module on a stand together with a dimmable spotlight which can be moved horizontally & vertically to enable daily curves to be easily simulated.
In addition angle of inclination can be varied and the influence of irradiation and temperature on the characteristic curve of a PVmodule can be investigated.

Experiments

The basic principles of photovoltaics considering the influence of different parameters can be investigated together with the set-up of both battery/off-grid and grid connected systems:

• Characteristic curve of a solar module (I/U) and (U/P), MPP
• Characteristic curve of a solar module (I/U) depending on irradiation
• Characteristic curve of a solar module (I/U) depending on temperature
• Power output of a solar module depending on the angle of incidence of the light
• Simulation: Power output of a solar modul depending on the position of the sun (morning to evening / winter- and summertime)
• Series connection of solar modules
• Parallel connection of solar modules
• Series connection of solar modules and shadowing without bypass-diode
• Series connection of solar modules and shadowing with bypass-diode
• Line powered operation mode: sol r energy is fed via inverter (changes solar DC into sinusodial AC, singlephase) to the mains.
• Different constellations of power flowing in the system. Calculation of efficiency (inverter)
• Stand alone systems DC and AC. Solar charging controler, battery, stand-alone inverter, DC and AC loads. Varying power flows in the system
