Spectrally selective sensors for PV system performance monitoring

Abstract: The main purpose of PV system performance monitoring is to determine whether the system is operating as expected. This requires measuring the actual output of the system as well as the conditions under which it is operating. Solar radiation intensity in the plane of the array (POA) is by far the most important operating condition and is the basis for calculating performance ratios (PR). However, differences in spectral and directional response between pyranometers and PV modules lead to intraday as well as sea… Show more

“…Historically, solar irradiance measurements for outdoor photovoltaic (PV) performance monitoring has been carried out using either pyranometers, reference cells, or sometimes both. The results obtained with these options are not directly comparable, resulting in frequent discussions about which option is preferred [1], [2]. The PV community is increasingly interested in using reference cells that accurately quantify the solar resource available to a PV system for outdoor solar resource measurement and characterizing PV performance.…”

“…PV reference cells can be used for prospecting. As stated in [1], [2], PV reference cells and the PV modules have close spectral matches that reduce the uncertainty in the available energy for conversion into electricity, which ultimately reduces the levelized cost of energy.…”

“…Pyranometers and calibrated PV reference devices (PVRDs) are the two most popular tools used by the PV industry for measuring irradiance [24,25]. According to [26][27][28] and the norm lEC 60904-3, to measure solar irradiance in PV applications, it would be beneficial to use the PV reference devices in terms of irradiance uncertainty estimation. The efficiency of photon-to-electron conversion is a wavelength-dependent function that is specific to various PV device technologies [26].…”
