RT info:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesis T1 Development and Evaluation of Open-Source prEN50549-10 Tests Scripts for Improved Solar Integration A1 Salazar Hamze, Fouad José A2 Máster Universitario en Energías Renovables AB Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as Photovoltaic (PV)inverters, have the capability to provide a range of services for power systemoperators. The prEN50549-10 draft standard, which outlines test proceduresfor the grid support functions of the DER, is an essential tool to certify thatPV inverters comply with the stated functions. Open-Source prEN50549-10Python Tests Scripts that automatically execute test procedures for thecertification standard are developed and evaluated in this study. For thatpurpose, a Controller Hardware-In-The-Loop (CHIL) testbed integrated withautomated testing was used. The system comprises a 34.5 kW AustrianInstitute of Technology (AIT) Smart Grid Converter (SGC) connected to aTyphoon HIL 402 system, and the evaluations for the automation of gridsupport function tests rely on the SunSpec System Validation Platform (SVP)to execute sequences of testing logic that change settings on the Device UnderTest (DUT), grid simulator, PV simulator, and data acquisition system usingPython scripts. As a result, it was obtained for the first time Python TestScripts that allow the automatic execution of the certification test for thegrid support functions of "Active response to frequency deviation", "Voltagesupport by reactive power", and "Voltage related to active power reduction"as stated in the prEN50549-10 standard.
