Publication CODE Title
NBN EN 60904-5:2011 (2011-04) PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES PART 5 : DETERMINATION OF THE EQUIVALENT CELL TEMPERATURE (ECT) OF PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) DEVICES BY THE OPEN-CIRCUIT VOLTAGE METHOD
 
Price Excl. VAT Total number of pages, tables and drawings
25.00 € 3 P..
Description
Describes the preferred method for determining the equivalent cell temperature (ECT) of PV devices (cells, modules and arrays of one type of module), for the purposes of comparing their thermal characteristics, determining NOCT (nominal operating cell temperature) and translating measured I-V characteristics to other temperatures. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: - added method on how to extract the input parameters; - rewritten method on how to calculate ECT; - reworked formulae to be in line with IEC 60891.
Class  C57  (POWER GENERATING OR TRANSFORMING EQUIPMENT DIRECT CONVERSION OF SOLAR ENERGY INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY)
