Fraunhofer Energy Alliance
Plant and System Testing
With the powerful and flexible test environments and laboratories and the know-how of the independent and highly qualified experts of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, we offer customers and partners from industry and the energy sector a wide range of support. This ranges from tests of electrical systems at the grid interface, metrological verification of the properties of distributed generating systems and their components, grid properties of inverters and CHP units, performance of photovoltaic and hybrid systems, to advice on setting up laboratory environments.
Our offerings in this area include the following components:
Laboratory tests or measurements on equipment on site:
- Component tests: converters, CHP units, prime movers, intelligent network equipment
- Grid connection tests
- Behavior of generating plants in case of grid faults (FRT)
- EMC tests
- System tests: hybrid systems, photovoltaic systems, photovoltaic storage systems
- Hardware-in-the-loop tests: power HIL, controller HIL
- Power quality measurements, synchronized distributed long-term measurements
- Performance tests for generating systems
