Regenerative Grid Simulator with PHIL

Q: What is the GSZ Series?

The GSZ Series is a regenerative grid simulator with built‑in Power Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (PHIL) capability, designed for advanced testing of grid‑connected and power‑electronic devices under real‑time, closed‑loop grid conditions.

Q: . What does “grid simulator with PHIL” mean?

A grid simulator with PHIL allows real hardware (DUT) to interact in real time with a simulated electrical grid model. The GSZ Series enables this closed‑loop interaction while safely sourcing or absorbing power.

Q: Can the GSZ Series be integrated with real time simulators?

Yes. The GSZ Series is designed to interface with real‑time digital simulators used for PHIL testing, enabling synchronized and stable operation.

Accurate Grid Simulation for Grid Compliance Testing

Grid Simulator With Dual Voltage Range Offers Constant Power

The GSZ series supports low and high voltage ranges for AC or DC which helps to offer Constant power for wide voltage range. The Low Voltage range 0-240 Vac LN / 0-415 Vac LL and High Voltage range 0-480 Vac LN / 0-830 Vac LL offers widest Operating Envelope.

More Current at Lower Voltage
AC / DC Dual Voltage Ranges

Power Hardware in Loop with High Speed Analog I/O

For real-time Power Hardware in Loop (PHIL)grid simulation applications, the GSZ offers a high speed set of analog inputs and outputs with fast output response. This analog interface provides high speed input for controlling frequency, voltage or current and waveshape. Voltage and Current output capture signals are returned to the Real Time Simulation System.

Amplifier for PHIL applications
Latency of less than 50µs
High Speed Analog Inputs

Easily Simulate Harmonics and Interharmonics

The Regenerative Grid Simulator – GSZ Series has a built-in waveform digitizer and scope with fast transient capabilities at 200µs time resolution supporting LIST, PULSE and STEP modes. Waveform generation includes ten Standard, Sine, Square, Triangle, Clipped and Harmonics AND inter-harmonics generation.

AC, DC configurations
Simultaneously test AC and DC, Source or Load on separate phases
Full galvanic isolation from facility AC input to output and between output phases/channels also protects the user and the UUT.

Flexible Output Configurations For Grid Tied Products

AC and DC operation of modes per phase (or channel), and the automatic switching of output modes provides test engineers with a unique capability and the highest degree of flexibility. Isolated Neutral per phase allows user to operate GSZ in AC, DC, AC+DC, DC+AC output configurations available in single, split, three phase and multi-channels.

AC, AC+DC, DC+AC, DC configurations
Independent source and load operation across channels

Full galvanic isolation from facility AC input to output and between output phases/channels also protects the user and the UUT.
