■ Renewable Energy Trainer

CNS-201 Dynamic Solar Power Generation Trainer

• The unit demonstrates the practical application of such a combined system for student to conduct the
investigation of photovoltaic generation. It is supplied as standard with an adjustable light source to
allow investigation of system performance inside the laboratory irrespective of outside conditions.
• The solar module comes with altitude emulator, that is, the angle of light source can be adjusted
automatically by PLC or manually by HMI & pushbuttons, simulating the sun's rising and falling. An
dual-axis tracking platform is installed with the PV panel to realize the automatic / manual sun
tracking function.
• A hybrid controller is adopted in this system, available for both solar and wind power generation,
user can easily extend the trainer into a hybrid power generation system by adding wind simulator directly.
• Dedicated instrumentation includes, watt hour meter, AC/DC voltmeter and ampere meters for
investigation of system efficiency and characteristics.
