NH Research 9510-100 AC Grid Simulator

Overview

The NH Research 9510-100 is a regenerative AC/DC grid simulator designed for testing high-power grid-tied applications. This modular system offers scalable power from 50 kW to 1.2 MW and can return more than 85 percent of power back to the facility, reducing operational costs. It functions as both a regenerative grid simulator and a four-quadrant AC load, optimized for Power Hardware in the Loop (PHIL) applications.

Key Features
