Photovoltaic (PV) module performance testing and energy rating - Part 2: Spectral responsivity, incidence angle and module operating temperature measurements

IEC 61853-2:2016 defines measurement procedures for measuring the effects of angle of incidence of the irradiance on the output power of the device, determines the operating temperature of a module for a given set of ambient and mounting conditions and measure spectral responsivity of the module. A second purpose is to provide a characteristic set of parameters which will be useful for detailed energy predictions. The described measurements are required as inputs into the module energy rating procedure described in IEC 61853-3.

Prüfung des Leistungsverhaltens von photovoltaischen (PV-)Modulen und Energiebemessung - Teil 2: Messung der spektralen Empfindlichkeit, des Einfallswinkels und der Modul-Betriebstemperatur

Essais de performance et caractéristiques assignées d'énergie des modules photovoltaïques (PV) - Partie 2: Mesurages de réponse spectrale, d'angle d'incidence et de température de fonctionnement des modules

L'IEC 61853-2:2016 a pour objet de définir des méthodes de mesure des effets de l'angle d'incidence de l'éclairement sur la puissance de sortie du dispositif, de déterminer la température de fonctionnement d'un module pour un ensemble donné de conditions ambiantes et de montage, et de mesurer la réponse spectrale du module. Elle a également pour objet de fournir un ensemble caractéristique de paramètres utiles pour des prévisions d'énergie détaillées. Les mesurages décrits sont exigés comme éléments d'entrée de la procédure de détermination des caractéristiques assignées d'énergie des modules décrite dans l'IEC 61853-3.

Preskušanje zmogljivosti in energijske učinkovitosti fotonapetostnega (PV) modula - 2. del: Meritve spektralnega odziva, vpadnega kota in obratovalne temperature modula

Skupina standardov IEC 61853 določa zahteve IEC za ocenjevanje zmogljivosti fotonapetostnega (PV) modula na podlagi moči (vati), energije (vatne ure) in razmerja zmogljivosti (PR). Namenjen je za uporabo pri vseh fotonapetostnih tehnologijah, vendar morda ne ustreza tehnologijam, pri katerih se zmogljivost modula sčasoma spremeni (npr. moduli spremenijo obnašanje pri izpostavljenosti svetlobi ali toploti) ali pri tistih, ki imajo precejšnjo nelinearnost v katerih koli lastnostih, ki se uporabljajo za modeliranje.
Namen tega dela standarda IEC 61853 je opredeliti merilne postopke za merjenje učinkov vpadnega kota sevanja na izhodno moč naprave, določiti obratovalno temperaturo modula za podani nabor okoljskih in namestitvenih pogojev ter izmeriti spektralni odziv modula. Drugi namen je zagotavljanje značilnega nabora parametrov, ki bodo uporabni za podrobne napovedi glede energije. Opisane meritve so potrebne kot vnosi pri postopku energetske ocene modula, opisanega v standardu IEC 61853-3.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors,
