Technical principles and application scenarios of energy recovery AC electronic loads [Copy link]

Energy recovery AC electronic load, also commonly known as energy feedback electronic load or AC feedback electronic load, is an advanced power electronic device. Its technical principles and application scenarios are as follows:

Technical principle

The technical principle of energy recovery AC electronic load is mainly based on the application of power electronic devices, which includes the following steps:

1. Rectification process : First, the electrical energy in the AC grid is converted into DC energy through a rectifier. The main function of the rectifier is to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), providing a stable DC power supply for the subsequent inversion process.

2. Inversion process : Then, the inverter is used to convert the DC power into AC power again and feed it back to the AC grid. The inverter is the core component in this process, which realizes the inversion and feedback of power by controlling the switching state of power electronic devices.

3. Filtering : During the inversion process, in order to ensure the quality of the power fed back to the grid, filters are usually used to remove harmonics and noise. The function of the filter is to purify the power and ensure that the power fed back to the grid meets the relevant standards and requirements.

4. Intelligent control : During the entire process, it is also necessary to accurately control components such as rectifiers, inverters and filters through an intelligent control system to achieve accurate feedback and efficient use of electrical energy.
