IEC 61683:1999

Photovoltaic systems - Power conditioners - Procedure for measuring efficiency

IEC 61683:1999 Describes guidelines for measuring the efficiency of power conditioners used in stand-alone and utility-interactive photovoltaic systems, where the output of the power conditioner is a stable a.c. voltage of constant frequency or a stable d.c. voltage.

Systèmes photovoltaïques - Conditionneurs d’énergie électrique - Procédure de mesure du rendement

IEC 61683:1999 décrit les lignes directrices pour mesurer le rendement des conditionneurs d'énergie électrique utilisés dans les systèmes photovoltaïques autonomes et interactifs avec le réseau, avec lesquels la sortie du conditionneur d'énergie électrique est une tension alternative stable de fréquence constante ou une tension continue stable.
