NREL Comparison of Absolute Cavity Pyrgeometers, InfraRed Integrating Sphere, and Pyrgeometers Traceable to World Infrared Standard Group: September 23-October 4, 2024

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

The comparison of the absolute cavity pyrgeometers (ACPs) with the CG4 FT005 pyrgeometer traceable to the InfraRed Integrating Sphere (IRIS) referred to by FT005(IRIS), Eppley Precision Infrared Radiometer (PIR) pyrgeometers, and Kipp & Zonen (KZ) pyrgeometers traceable to the World Infrared Standard Group (WISG) was held during NREL ACP and IRIS Comparisons (NAIC) from September 23 to October 4, 2024. Data from all instruments was collected during nighttime clear sky conditions only. The irradiance measured by the ACPs is collected in 30 seconds intervals during the measurement period of two hours, and 10 seconds intervals during the calibration period of 6 minutes. Two methods described in [1] and [2] were used for the comparison based on original Reda et. al and proposed Forgan et. al.
