✦ Synopsis
A 30-kVA Trace Technologies hybrid power processor was speci®ed and extensively tested at the Sandia inverter test facility. Trade Technologies made modi®cations, primarily involving the control system, in response to suggestions by Sandia and Arizona Public Service (APS) personnel. The modi®cations should make the inverter more universally applicable and less site-speci®c so that it can be applied in various sites with minimal ®eld interaction required from the design engineer. The project emphasized the importance of battery management, generator selection, and site load management to the performance and reliability of hybrid power systems.
