Programmable Medium-Voltage Grid Simulator of the MVGS Series

The MVGS Series is a high-performance, four-quadrant programmable medium-voltage AC source for grid simulation, regenerative high-power testing, and certification of megawatt-scale power electronics.

With direct medium-voltage output up to 50 kV, scalable system power from 1 MVA to 10 MVA and expansion up to 20 MVA+, the MVGS Series is designed for demanding test environments such as energy storage PCS, renewable energy systems, solid-state transformers, microgrids, and grid-connected power electronics.

Key Benefits

MV
Direct-to-MV Output
Direct medium-voltage output up to 50 kV without the need for bulky external step-up transformers.
4Q
Four-Quadrant Operation
Operates as both grid simulator and regenerative AC load for source and sink applications.
100%
Regenerative Energy Feedback
Feeds energy back into the grid to reduce heat dissipation and operating costs during high-power tests.
LVRT
Grid Fault Simulation
Supports LVRT, HVRT, ZVRT, voltage dips, swells, sags, frequency disturbances, and transient grid events.
THD
High Waveform Quality
Advanced cascaded power-cell topology enables output voltage THD below 1% under linear load conditions.
20M
Scalable System Power
System power from 1 MVA to 10 MVA, expandable to 20 MVA and beyond via master-slave parallel operation.
Information on Isolation Architecture

For high-power renewable energy and grid-connected converter testing, the isolation concept has a direct impact on safety, dynamic performance, measurement accuracy, and compliance testing.

A front-end isolated architecture places the isolation transformer on the grid side of the simulator. This keeps the simulator output directly coupled to the device under test, reduces output-side leakage inductance, and supports highly dynamic grid simulations such as continuous LVRT and HVRT sequences.

Compared with output-side transformer concepts, this architecture avoids transformer saturation during rapid voltage ride-through events and enables more realistic fault simulation, including line-to-earth fault scenarios, insulation monitoring tests, anti-islanding tests, and grid earthing system simulations.
