26、60904-4 IEC:2009 5 PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES Part 4: Reference solar devices Procedures for establishing calibration traceability 1 Scope and object This part of IEC 60904 sets the requirements for calibration procedures intended to establish the traceability of photovoltaic reference solar devices to SI
27、 units as required by IEC 60904-2. This standard applies to photovoltaic (PV) reference solar devices that are used to measure the irradiance of natural or simulated sunlight for the purpose of quantifying the performance of PV devices. The use of a PV reference solar device is required in the appli
28、cation of IEC 60904-1 and IEC 60904-3. This standard has been written with single junction PV reference solar devices in mind, in particular crystalline Silicon. However, the main part of the standard is sufficiently general to include other technologies. The methods described in Annex A, however, a
29、re limited to single junction technologies. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any ame

32、 NOTE The different reference instruments for the traceability chain of solar irradiance are defined in this Clause. Table 1 lists and compares them with those in use for time. Figure 1 shows schematically the most common traceability chains, based on the methods described in Annex A. 3.1 primary st

They are usually maintained by national metrology institutes (NMIs) or similar organisations entrusted with maintenance of standards for physical quantities. Often referred to also just as the primary, t
34、he physical implementation is selected such that long-term stability, precision BS EN 60904-4:2009Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 13/04/2010 03:17, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 6 60904-4 IEC:2009 and repeatability of measurement of the quantity it represents are guaranteed to th
35、e maximum extent possible by current technology. NOTE The World Radiometric Reference (WRR) as realized by the World Standard Group (WSG) of cavity radiometers is the accepted primary standard for the measurement of solar irradiance. 3.2 secondary standard a device, which by periodical comparison wi
36、th a primary standard, serves to maintain conformity to SI units at other places than that of the primary standard. It does not necessarily use the same technical principles as the primary standard, but strives to achieve similar long-term stability, precision and repeatability. NOTE Typical seconda
37、ry standards for solar irradiance are cavity radiometers which participate periodically (normally every 5 years) in the International Pyrheliometer Comparison (IPC) with the WSG. 3.3 primary reference the reference instrument which a laboratory uses to calibrate secondary references. It is compared
38、at periodic intervals to a secondary standard. Often primary references can be realised at much lower costs than secondary standards. NOTE Typically a solar cell is used as a reference solar device for the measurement of natural or simulated solar irradiance. 3.4 secondary reference the measurement
39、device in use for daily routine measurements or to calibrate working references, calibrated at periodic intervals to a primary reference. NOTE The most common secondary references for the measurement of natural or simulated solar irradiance are solar cells and solar modules. 3.5 traceability the req
40、uirement for any PV reference solar device, to tie its calibration value to SI units in an unbroken and documented chain of calibration transfers including stated uncertainties. NOTE The WRR has been compared twice to the SI radiometric scale and shown to be within their mutual uncertainty levels. T
41、herefore traceability to WRR automatically provides traceability to SI units. However, the uncertainty of the ratio WRR/SI units needs to be taken into account. The World Radiation Center (WRC) recommends a rectangular uncertainty distribution with 0,3 % half-width. A third comparison is currently u
42、nderway and should be published in the future. J. Romero, N.P. Fox, C. Frhlich metrologia 28 (1991) 125-8 J. Romero, N.P. Fox, C.
