26、ation comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes Internat
27、ional Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in
28、 this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the
29、two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have
30、the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misint
31、erpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding nationa
32、l or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services car
33、ried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Co
34、mmittees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn
35、 to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not b
36、e held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61829 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 82: Solar photovoltaic energy systems. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1995. This edition constitutes a technical re
37、vision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) it addresses many outdated procedures; b) it accommodates commonly used commercial I-V curve tracers; c) it provides a more practical approach for addressing field uncertainties; d) it
38、removes and replaces procedures with references to other updated and pertinent standards, including the IEC 60904 series, and IEC 60891. BS EN 61829:2016 4 IEC 61829:2015 IEC 2015 The result is a much more practical and useful standard. The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
39、FDIS Report on voting 82/1008/FDIS 82/1041/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the c
40、ontents of this publication will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. BS EN 61829:
41、2016IEC 61829:2015 IEC 2015 5 INTRODUCTION The performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems over their decades-long life time is determined by comparing measured power production with the expected production as estimated from recorded weather conditions. Continuous measurements of system- or subsystem-l
42、evel operating output can detect underperforming arrays but are not well suited for tracking degradation with any accuracy, or for identifying the weaknesses or failure modes that may exist within the array. Field I-V curve measurements offer a practical method of in situ benchmarking or troubleshoo
43、ting for modules, strings and arrays. This International Standard specifies methods and approaches for field I-V curve measurements and calculations, and includes guidance for addressing the uncertainties associated with measurement devices and array configurations. Consistent and proper application
44、 of I-V curve measurement procedures helps to ensure that a PV systems performance is adequately characterized over time. BS EN 61829:2016 6 IEC 61829:2015 IEC 2015 PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) ARRAY ON-SITE MEASUREMENT OF CURRENT-VOLTAGE CHARACTERISTICS 1 Scope This International Standard specifies procedures
45、 for on-site measurement of flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) array characteristics, the accompanying meteorological conditions, and use of these for translating to standard test conditions (STC) or other selected conditions. Measurements of PV array current-voltage (I-V) characteristics under actual on-
46、site conditions and their translation to reference test conditions (RTC) can provide: data for power rating or capacity testing; verification of installed array power performance relative to design specifications; detection of possible differences between on-site module characteristics and laborator
47、y or factory measurements; detection of possible performance degradation of modules and arrays with respect to on-site initial data; detection of possible module or array failures or poor performance. For a particular module, on-site measurements translated to STC can be directly compared with resul
48、ts previously obtained in a laboratory or factory for that module. Corrections for differences in the spectral or spatial response of the reference devices may need to be assessed as specified in IEC 60904. On-site array measurements are affected by diode, cable, and mismatch losses, soiling and sha
49、ding, degradation due to aging, and other uncontrolled effects. Therefore, they are not expected to be equal to the product of the number of modules and the respective module data. If a PV array is formed with sub-arrays of different tilt, orientation, technology, or electrical configuration, the procedure specified in this International Standard is applied to each unique PV sub-array of interest. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively refer
