Our load bank are available from small portable to multi-megawatt containerized solutions.

Custom Solutions

Configure custom voltage, frequency and build designs to meet your application.

Intelligent Control

Automated and customized testing and reporting ensure the load bank is performing exactly how you want.

Why are load banks used in Renewable applications?

Solar Power Systems

Load banks can be used to simulate the electrical load that the solar power system will encounter in real-world conditions. This is crucial for testing the efficiency and performance of inverters that convert DC power from solar panels to AC power for use in homes or the grid.

Wind Power Systems

Load banks are used to simulate the electrical load on the generator to ensure it can handle the expected power output from the wind turbine. This helps in commissioning and testing the generator under realistic conditions.

Hybrid SYstems

Load banks play a crucial role in testing the integration of different renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, along with energy storage systems. This ensures that the entire system functions seamlessly and efficiently.

Microgrid

Load banks help in simulating dynamic load conditions to test the stability and reliability of microgrids. This is important for ensuring that the microgrid can handle fluctuations in renewable energy production and demand. Find out more on our Microgrid application page.
