Renewable Energy

The safety standard for inverter and power converter equipment used in renewable energy systems, including solar, wind, and battery systems. The standard covers requirements for inverter and converter equipment intended to convert DC power from a renewable energy source into AC power that can be used by the electrical grid or other local electrical loads.  

Bureau Veritas offers industry leading experience team in US and across the globe to evaluate and certification of inverter, converter, power conversion products, Battery, Energy Storage System, Panelboards/Switchboard, EV Chargers, UPS, Transfer Switch, Busways, Transformers and other power electrical products.  

Bureau Veritas offers Software and functional safety evaluation according to UL 1998, UL 5500, CSA C22.2 #0.8, IEC 60730-1, IEC 61508 etc.

Bureau Veritas Littleton has an advanced inverter testing lab which can offer inverter testing including EMC/EMI and Environmental testing at one location.

UL 1741 calls out IEEE 1547/IEEE 1547.1 tests required distributed energy resources to disconnect when grid experience instability or to support grid. 

UL 1741 sets out a series of safety tests, interoperability tests, EMC/EMI tests and performance requirements that inverters and converters must meet to ensure that they are safe and reliable for use in renewable energy systems.
