6 FAQs about [Testing methods for photovoltaic power station batteries]
Can a stand-alone photovoltaic system be tested?
Abstract: Tests to determine the performance of stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems and for verifying PV system design are presented in this recommended practice. These tests apply only to complete systems with a defined load. The methodology includes testing the system outdoors in prevailing conditions and indoors under simulated conditions.
Can a PV system be tested if a load changes?
These tests do not cover PV systems connected to an electric utility. Test results are only relevant to the system tested. If the PV system or load changes in any way, then the tests should be rerun on the modified system. It may be desired to run performance tests on the load (s).
What is a stand-alone PV system performance test?
Such tests, however, are beyond the scope of this recommended practice and may require specialized test equipment and procedures. Purpose: An evaluation of stand-alone PV system performance is needed to determine how well the PV array charges the battery and how well the battery is sized for the load.
Can a PV system be tested on a modified system?
Test results are only relevant to the system tested. If the PV system or load changes in any way, then the tests should be rerun on the modified system. It may be desired to run performance tests on the load (s). Such tests may be found in other documents, for example, Servant and Aigullon [B7] describe how to test a lamp in a photovoltaic system.
How long does a PV system test take?
They require about one month to complete. These tests do not address component or system reliability, quality issues, safety, or compliance to any Codes (e.g., the National Electrical Safety Code® (NEC (R)) [B6]2). These tests do not cover PV systems connected to an electric utility. Test results are only relevant to the system tested.
What are the requirements for batteries in PV systems?
The requirements for batteries in PV systems in such locations are: long cycle life; wide operating temperature range; low self-discharge rate; good sealing to prevent the escape of water vapor and acid from the battery; resistance to earthquakes with intensity up to 7 on the Mercalli scale.
