Abstract

The University of Arizona AzRISE (Arizona Research Institute for Solar Energy) and Tucson Electric Power solar test yard is currently undergoing renovations to upgrade and standardize the data acquisition capabilities throughout the yard. Test yard improvements have enabled increased data collection reliability through state-of-the-art and environmentallyrobust data logging and real-time analysis. Enhanced capabilities include 10 msec max. data resolution, precision PV backside temperature monitoring of both individual and strings of modules, measurement of both AC and DC outputs as well as GHI and POA irradiance, active data backup to eliminate data intermittency, and robust Ethernet connectivity for data collection. An on-site weather station, provides wind speed and direction, relative humidity, and air temperature data. The information collected is accessed remotely via web server and includes raw performance and environmental conditions as well as extracted figures of performance for systems under test. Complementing the UA’s existing accelerated environmental-testing chamber, the new test yard acquisition capabilities have enabled high fidelity system and sub-system-level operational testing under a range of field-level test conditions. The combined facilities, thus, provide a full-spectrum testing resource for photovoltaic performance and degradation analysis. Specific measurement characteristics and sample data collected from a polysilicon module test string are utilized to illustrate test yard capabilities.
AzRISE/TEP太阳能光伏试验场改造升级
亚利桑那大学AzRISE(亚利桑那太阳能研究所)和图森电力公司太阳能试验场目前正在进行翻新,以升级和标准化整个试验场的数据采集能力。测试场的改进通过最先进和环境健壮的数据记录和实时分析提高了数据收集的可靠性。增强的功能包括最大10 msec。数据分辨率,单个和模块串的精确PV背面温度监测,交流和直流输出以及GHI和POA辐照度的测量,主动数据备份以消除数据间歇性,以及用于数据收集的强大以太网连接。一个现场气象站,提供风速和风向,相对湿度和空气温度数据。收集的信息通过web服务器远程访问,包括测试系统的原始性能和环境条件以及提取的性能数据。补充UA现有的加速环境测试室,新的测试场采集能力可以在一系列现场测试条件下实现高保真系统和子系统级操作测试。因此,组合设施为光伏性能和退化分析提供了全光谱测试资源。从多晶硅模块测试串中收集的特定测量特性和样品数据用于说明测试场的能力。
