Minimizing Variation in Outdoor CPV Power Ratings (Presentation): NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Research output: NRELPresentation

Abstract

Module data from NREL's CPV test bed is used to examine methods for calculating outdoor CPV power ratings. IEC 62670 and ASTM E2527 are used as a starting point for determining a module power rating on a monthly basis. Monthly power ratings vary by more than desired using existing methods. The presentation examines modifications to existing methods as well as spectral corrections to reducevariation in monthly module power ratings.
