f41 Parallel System Stop Error on Solar PV Inverters – Troubleshooting

Introduction There are certain equipment which have inherent deficiencies and typical failure modes. For example there is a certain car manufacturer who’s wheel axles usually disconnected on the road while making a turn. A proper FMEA, failure mode and effects analysis may have resolved this defect. However, on many series of this vehicle, the problem… Read More f41 Parallel System Stop Error on Solar PV Inverters – Troubleshooting

Part 1 – QBlade Wind Turbine Simulation Software with GUI

Introduction In past posts, an opensource programme for simulation of wind turbines and a limited wind farm configuration was covered. It is called OpenFAST. A nice programme it is; however, it does not have an interactive user interface. Introduced here is QBlade which has similar models of wind turbines as OpenFAST as a free programme… Read More Part 1 – QBlade Wind Turbine Simulation Software with GUI
