Renewable Energy and Energy Conversion Test Solutions
Advanced testing and validation solutions for renewable energy systems, smart grid infrastructure, energy storage platforms, distributed energy resources, and modern power conversion technologies.
Test Distributed Energy Resources Across the Smart Grid
Renewable energy systems operate within increasingly complex electrical networks that include distributed generation, energy storage, bidirectional power flow, and grid-interactive technologies. Our regenerative grid simulators, programmable power supplies, battery emulators, and regenerative loads enable realistic testing of renewable energy equipment under real-world operating conditions. Engineers can evaluate compliance with IEEE 1547, UL 1741 SB, IEC 61000, and other grid-interconnection standards while validating performance, stability, and interoperability.

Smartgrid, Microgrid
Modern microgrids combine renewable generation, energy storage, distributed loads, and utility interconnections within a highly dynamic operating environment. Validation requires simulation of varying grid conditions, load interactions, power quality events, and bidirectional energy flow. Caltest solutions enable engineers to evaluate DER performance, system response, reliability, and compliance with grid interconnection requirements across both component-level and system-level testing environments.
Solar PV Inverters
Grid-connected photovoltaic systems require extensive validation to ensure safe, reliable, and standards-compliant operation. Programmable grid simulators and DC power emulators allow engineers to simulate utility conditions, grid disturbances, frequency variations, voltage anomalies, and transient events while validating inverter performance. These solutions support type testing, certification programs, power quality assessment, and renewable energy compliance testing for commercial and utility-scale solar installations.
Energy Storage Systems and V2G Testing
Energy storage systems play a critical role in grid stabilization, renewable energy integration, and vehicle-to-grid applications. Validate battery energy storage systems, bidirectional inverters, V2G, V2H, and V2X technologies using regenerative grid simulators, AC loads, battery emulators, and programmable power systems. These platforms enable realistic testing of bidirectional power flow, grid support functionality, dynamic load conditions, and advanced energy management strategies.
Transformer Testing
Transformers remain essential components within renewable energy generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure. Programmable AC power sources provide precise voltage and frequency control for evaluating transformer efficiency, voltage regulation, thermal performance, load handling capability, and overall operational reliability. Compared with traditional testing approaches, modern power platforms offer improved accuracy, repeatability, flexibility, and productivity across transformer validation programs.
