Modelling long-term module performance based on realistic reporting conditions with consideration to spectral effects
conference contribution
posted on 2011-03-11, 12:02 authored by Sheryl R. Williams, Thomas R. Betts, Ralph Gottschalg, Hans G. Beyer, David InfieldA model for the annual performance of different module technologies is presented that includes spectral effects. The model is based on the realistic reporting conditions but also allows for secondary spectral effects, as experienced by multi-junction devices. The model is validated against measurements taken at CREST and shows a good agreement for all devices. Combining this
relatively simple model with ASPIRE, a spectral irradiance model based on standard meteorological measurements, allows the translation to other locations. The method is applied to measurements of different
devices deployed in Loughborough and the significance of certain effects is discussed.
