UL hand in State Grid EPRI power grid inverter manufacturers for global market access

April 19, global product safety testing and certification leader UL (UnderwritersLaboratories) and China State Grid Electric Power Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as State Grid EPRI) to work together, in Nanjing, Jiangsu held a two-day "Global Markets access to grid-connected photovoltaic inverter seminar "and attract numerous photovoltaic industry professionals.

It is reported that since January 2010 UL and the National Grid EPRI has signed a strategic cooperation memorandum, the two sides have maintained good cooperation, and to carry out various forms of technical communication and resource sharing. And this workshop is to further the parties to jointly promote China's development of renewable energy technologies and upgrading, as well as China's domestic PV systems UL invertermanufacturer another strong evidence of long-term commitment.

In recent years, the development of photovoltaic technology and applications on a global scale has been a great success, the Chinese PV industry has risen to the world's largest photovoltaic industry manufacturing base, capacity accounting for more than half of the world. However, due to Europe, America and Asia, including standards and market access different applications lack sufficient knowledge, so that domestic manufacturers to enter the international market frequently rebuffed.

The photovoltaic system is one of the vital components inverters example, its performance has a direct impact on the system's security, stability and performance. Therefore, in the development, including the United States, Europe and China, including the PV market, the PV inverter practitioners need to fully understand the different parts of the solar system inverter performance and safety standards, as well as the inverse power of photovoltaic systems and transformer technical specifications in order to be able to ease all kinds of market environments, calmly.

"Enterprises in the development of the PV inverter market, the need to consider the most important issue is the issue of market access in the developed markets of the preparatory process, manufacturers need to clearly understand the main target market access standards as well as business-to-grid inverter control access to the technical requirements, and with a qualified third party testing and certification accordingly, which is the first to enter the market effectively absolute terms. "in the" global market access and grid-connected photovoltaic inverter Seminar Council ", UL Greater China General Manager Mr. Chen Zonghong attend the sales market and stressed.

As the first in the worldwide photovoltaic product safety testing and certification of third-party certification organization, UL has been committed to new energy R & D and development of industry standards, and has an experienced team of technical experts for enterprises to provide a one-stop certification services and technical support . UL officially launched in 1999 solar inverter systems, power converters and connecting devices to the power supply system safety certification standards UL1741, UL followed by a number of experts to participate in the international IEEE standard development, and in 2006 led IEC62109 standard drafting, including solar inverters become industry standards, including solar energy leader.

For the North American and European Photovoltaic grid access standard, UL introduced corresponding U.S. and Canadian c-UL-us certification and UL-EU pan-European certification has become a global enterprise, including China, to enter the North American and European markets "pass." Among them, based on the European market requirements, UL also supplied with CE marking and measuring energy efficiency to help businesses comply with the broader European PV market requirements. Thus by UL to provide one-stop conformity assessment services, corporate get access to global markets, and to minimize the cost of project management certification.
