2.1 Range of Application
The full 4-quadrant grid simulator TC.ACS allows for all relevant testing according to the grid-feed-in regulations
(CENELEC, DIN, IEC). It can be operated in the following modes:
• Waveform Generator Mode (
)
• Load Simulation Mode (Option) (
Generally, the device is capable of
2.1.1 Waveform Generator Mode
There are the following kinds of the waveform generator mode:
• Basic Waveform Generator Mode (
)
• Full Waveform Generator Mode (Option) (
)
2.1.1.1 Basic Waveform Generator Mode
In the basic waveform generator mode the TC.ACS device simulates a grid. I.e. it generates a signal waveform that
resembles the signal given by a grid, i.e. a sine wave. This signal can be configured and controlled via ACSControl.
2.1.1.2 Full Waveform Generator Mode (Option)
In the full waveform generator mode the TC.ACS device simulates a grid or any other kind of electrical source. I.e.
it generates signal functions that resemble those being generated by the respective source. Here ACSControl
allows to generate all kinds of signal waveforms and sequences of these in order to represent the influences of
various factors (e.g. failures or interferences in the power system).
2.1.2 Amplifier Mode
In the amplifier mode the TC.ACS device works as a triphase voltage or current (option) amplifier. I.e. it receives
external signals via its analogue interfaces for each phase. These signals are amplified and then transferred to the
output. Here any device, which creates electrical signals, can be used as an external signal generator.
