Ensure that the system power supply has been cut off before testing the cable or touching any live conductor.

9.7 PV array nominal power test

The field power can be measured using the "solar cell square array tester" calibrated by a third-party testing unit to measure the IV characteristic curve of the solar cell branch, and the sampling rate should not be less than 30%. From the IV characteristic curve, the maximum output power of the branch can be obtained. In order to convert the maximum output power obtained by the test to the peak power, the following corrections of items a), b), c) and e) are required.

If there is no "solar cell square array tester", the actual DC output power of the power station can also be obtained by field testing the operating voltage and operating current on the DC side of the power station. In order to convert the actual output power of the power station obtained by the test to the peak power, all the following items need to be corrected.

The following six corrections should be made after testing to ensure fairness:

a) Light intensity correction:

In the non-standard conditions, the light intensity correction should be performed and the light intensity corrected according to the linear method.

b) Temperature correction:

The junction temperature is generally estimated to be 60°C, and for every 1°C increase above 25°C, the power is reduced by 2/1000 (crystalline silicon is

Five-thousandths of a thousandths of total), the total dropped 7%.

c) Combination loss correction:

After the solar cell modules are connected in series and in parallel, there will be a combination loss, and the combined loss correction should be performed. The combined loss of solar cells should be controlled within 5%.

d) Maximum power point correction:

It is difficult for the solar cell to work at the maximum power point under working conditions and it needs to be compared with the power curve for correction; this correction may not be made for a system with a solar maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device;

e) Solar cell orientation correction:

Different solar cell orientations have different power outputs and power losses. If there are different orientations of solar cells that are connected to the same inverter, this calibration is required.

9.8 Power Quality Test

1) First disconnect the photovoltaic power plant from the power grid and test the power quality of the power grid:

2) Connect the inverter to the grid and test the power quality of the grid point after it is stable:

Note: During the test, it should be noted that whether the deviation of the power quality parameters is caused by the original deviation of the grid or the deviation generated after the photovoltaic system is connected to the grid. The basis for the determination of the power quality index is implemented according to the requirements of GB/T19939.

9.9 System Electrical Efficiency Test

9.9.1 General Requirements

Photovoltaic system electrical efficiency should be tested in accordance with the following requirements:

a) Limit unauthorised personnel from entering the work area during testing;

b) Do not touch the electrical equipment directly by hand to prevent electric shock.

c) The system electrical efficiency test should be carried out under sunshine intensity greater than 500W/m2;

d) Appropriate personal protective clothing/equipment should be worn during testing.

Note: When the PV module is installed with a certain inclination angle, the sunshine intensity test device should maintain a uniform tilt angle with the module.

9.9.2 Test Methods

Photovoltaic system electrical efficiency should be tested as follows:

a) First measure the current sunlight intensity with a standard solar meter;

b) Measure the AC power at the grid connection point of the grid-connected inverter while measuring the solar radiation intensity;

c) According to the power of the photovoltaic array, the sunshine intensity and the temperature power coefficient, according to the calculation formula, the generation power of the photovoltaic array at that time can be calculated;

d) According to 3.1, the electrical efficiency of the system can be calculated.

9.10 Concentrating Photovoltaic Module Test

For concentrating photovoltaic systems, off-axis spot damage testing of concentrating photovoltaic modules should be performed on the site. See IEC 62108 clause 10.14 for test methods.

9.11 Automatic Tracking System Function Test

For the automatic tracking photovoltaic power generation system and the concentrating photovoltaic power generation system, the site shall be tested for operational function and tracking accuracy.

9.11.1 Action Function Test

Test content includes:

a) Height angle direction manual mode action test

Switch the tracking system to manual operation mode. Adjust the elevation angle in the manual mode with the corresponding mechanism. During the test, the vibration and effective transmission of the relevant organization shall be confirmed, and it shall be confirmed whether the elevation angle operation range meets the range defined in the specifications of the system.

b) Azimuth direction manual mode motion test

Switch the tracking system to manual operation mode. In manual mode, the azimuth is adjusted by the corresponding mechanism.测试过程中重点确认相关机构的振动和有效传动,并确认方位角运行范围是否满足追日系统规格书中所定义的范围。

c)独立机械限位手动模式动作测试

一般情况下要求追日系统配置独立的机械限位单元。在手动模式下,分别测试高度角和方位角方向上的独立机械限位单元的工作状态。机械限位单元功能正常与否的判断依据是相应的过载保护装置是否正常启动。

d)自动模式动作测试

将系统地点和日期分别设定为当地和设备商需要设定当时对应时间。将追日系统切换至自动工作模式。使追日系统运行一整天,测试运行状况。

e)通断电测试

将系统切换至自动工作模式。

在追日系统跟踪时间段内,切断主电源20分钟后再开启主电源,测试追日系统是否能运转至正确位置。

在追日系统跟踪时间段内,手动方式改变跟踪器方位角和高度角位置,然后切断主电源20分钟后再开启主电源,测试追日系统是否能运转至正确位置。

9.11.2跟踪精度测试

采用光电二极管或CCD等检测系统直接测量追日系统组件平面相对于阳光光线的位置偏差。

当采用户外自然光来进行测试时,直接正常日照强度不应低于500W/m2,测试将在追日系统的准确跟踪全范围内进行。连续两周的最大追日偏差不得超过±3°。

以上追日精度测试时,考虑组合载荷为相当于20m/s 风速情况下的静止载荷。该静止载荷以外加负载形式均匀的安装固定在追日系统上。
