Ideal Power’s SunDial™ and Stabiliti™ Series Power Conversion Products Achieve UL 1741 SA Certification
November 27 2017 - 08:31AM
Ideal Power Inc., (NASDAQ:IPWR) an innovative power conversion
technology company, announced today that its next-generation
SunDial™ and Stabiliti™ series power conversion products have met
all the safety, performance, reliability and grid support
requirements for UL 1741 Supplement A (SA) certification. With this
certification, Ideal Power’s products meet the newest standards for
supporting grid modernization, now required by the California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) as an amendment to the Rule 21
tariff.
To achieve UL 1741 SA certification, solar inverters must remain
online and automatically adapt their power output in real-time to
stabilize the electric grid during periods of abnormal operation
such as heat waves or brownouts. Under traditional utility
interconnection requirements, inverters simply disconnect when the
grid experiences stability issues. However, inverters with UL 1741
SA certification can provide reactive power – an essential
component for balancing power delivery and stabilizing the
grid.
“By achieving the UL 1741 SA certification, Ideal Power is
meeting a higher standard for advancing grid modernization with a
product line that is adaptable for shifting market parameters in
California and beyond,” said Ideal Power CEO Dan Brdar. “We
anticipate more states will adopt similar requirements and we
believe Ideal Power products will support higher integration rates
of distributed energy resources to the grid.”
UL 1741 SA-listed products are essential for supporting a
reliable energy system, particularly in regions with high rates of
renewables such as California where nearly 14 percent of
electricity comes from solar. Other states with high solar
penetration and distributed generation are requiring or expected to
require UL 1741 SA or similar regulations to optimize the oncoming
megawatts of grid-tied solar and energy storage.
Ideal Power’s SunDial and Stabiliti series power conversion
products are compatible with leading battery technologies,
providing peak demand management and offering applications for
alternating current (AC) microgrids, direct current (DC) microgrids
and backup power. Ideal Power’s grid-resilient, bi-directional
and multiport technologies are cost-effective, versatile and
scalable solutions that enable the integration of
solar-plus-storage.
