Small control parameters prevent fast control movements.

troller)
The control parameters depend heavily on the load. In the specific case
the current or voltage curve should be checked using an oscilloscope or
the Scope function integrated into TopControl to optimally adapt the
control parameters.
In addition, it is to be noted that a TopCon power supply in the basic
version cannot absorb any energy from the load side, i.e. in case of set
value steps the control time constant is dependent on the load imped-
ance.
Negative set values
can only be processed in combination with an AC-polarity reverse
bridge or Q14 system (see options chapter 4.2, page 91). A TopCon
power supply without AC-polarity reverse bridge interprets negative set
values as zero.

Solar Array Simulator (SAS) option - SASControl
Function
The function generator for the TopCon power supply is switched to the
AAP mode with a function I = f(U) and can behave like a solar panel in
accordance with this function.
By overlaying on another AAP characteristic curve, the effect of solar ir-
radiation and temperature on the solar panel can be simulated. During
this process it is possible to “softly” overlay linearly from one AAP char-
acteristic curve to another.
The solar array simulator can be used for photovoltaic simulation
(PV simulation).
The basic problem
On photovoltaic installations the energy from light is converted into elec-
trical power. The DC produced is fed back to the grid via an inverter.
(Conversion of the DC from the solar panel to 230 V 1~- or 400 V 3~
AC.)
During inverter production and development the TopCon power supply
can be used as a solar panel simulator for testing inverters.
