CONVERSION METHOD BETWEEN OUTDOOR AND INDOOR MEASUREMENTS FOR TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF TECHNOLOGIES: C-SI AND CDTE MODULES

摘要

In order to determine the profitability of a PV project, power plant operators need to predictaccurately the final energy production. It is crucial to know the operating power of PV modules. The correlationbetween the peak power and the operating power is therefore a major issue for several services, such as theproject design, operation and maintenance. This paper compares measured performance parameters for severalphotovoltaic modules tested at our outdoor test area near Paris and at EDF R&D indoor laboratory with our AAAflasher. Then the origins of these discrepancies are analyzed and implemented into a model in order to translateoutdoor measurements to STC conditions. Finally, a comparison between indoor and corrected outdoormeasurements has been made under several meteorological conditions, in order to validate the correction method.Thanks to our model, an uncertainty analysis of the corrected power has been investigated by the Monte-Carlomethod.
