Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting is required.

This document is Part 1 of GB/T 45021 "Photovoltaic Module Performance Test and Energy Assessment". GB/T 45021 has been published in Lower part.

-- Part 1: Irradiance and temperature performance measurements and power evaluation.

This document is modified to adopt IEC 61853-1:2011 "Photovoltaic module performance testing and energy assessment Part 1: Irradiance and temperature Energy Measurement and Power Assessment.

A new chapter "Terms and Definitions" has been added to this document.

The technical differences between this document and IEC 61853-1:2011 and their reasons are as follows.

-- The scope (see Chapter 1) has been revised to better reflect the applicability of the standard;

--The sampling method has been changed. GB/T 2828 (all parts) has replaced IEC 60410 (see Chapter 4). IEC 60410 has been Repealed;

-- The normative reference IEC 60891:2021 replaces IEC 60891:2008 (see 9.1 and 10.1.5). IEC 60891 has been revised.

Order updated versions;

-- The normative reference IEC 60904-7:2019 replaces IEC 60904-7 (see 9.3.6 and 9.5.6). IEC 60904-7 has been revised.

Order updated versions;

-- Delete IEC 61215:2005 and IEC 61646:2008, and add reference to IEC 61215-2:2021 (see Chapter 6, 8.1 and 9.5.8), IEC 61215:2005 and IEC 61646:2008 have been revised and merged into the IEC 61215 series.

The following editorial changes were made to this document.

--Add the informative reference IEC 61853-3 in Chapter 1 to the references;

-- Add normative references to ISO/IEC 17025 in the text to Chapter 2.

Introduction

Photovoltaic (PV) modules are usually tested under standard test conditions (STC) with a cell temperature of 25 °C, an irradiance of 1 000 W/m2 and a spectrum of AM1.5.

However, PV panels in the field operate in a range of temperatures, irradiances, and spectra. In order to accurately predict the performance of the panels under different conditions, to ensure the production capacity under certain conditions, it is necessary to evaluate the components under a wide range of temperatures, irradiances, incident angles and spectra.

GB/T 45021 "Photovoltaic module performance test and energy evaluation" is planned to consist of four parts.

--Part 1: Irradiance and temperature performance measurement and power level assessment. The purpose is to specify the performance of the requirements for evaluating the performance of PV modules are based on the rated power (W).

--Part 2: Measurement of spectral responsivity, incident angle and component operating temperature. The purpose is to establish the measurement of incident angle and spectral response.

The test procedure for evaluating the effect of irradiance, ambient temperature and wind speed on the module is described in detail.

--Part 3: Rated Energy of Photovoltaic Modules. The purpose is to describe the calculation method of the rated energy (watt-hour) of photovoltaic modules.

--Part 4: Standard reference climate document. The purpose is to give standard time periods and weather conditions that can be used for energy rating calculations.
