IEC 60904-5:2011 pdf free download – Photovoltaic devices
1 scope and object
This part of lEC 60904 describes the preferred method for determining the equivalent celltemperature (ECT) of PV devices (cells,modules and arrays of one type of module), for thepurposes of comparing their thermal characteristics,determining NOCT(nominal operatingcell temperature) and translating measured l-V characteristics to other temperatures.
This standard applies to linear devices with logarithmic Voc dependence on irradiance and instable conditions. lt may be used for all technologies but one has to verify that there is nopreconditioning effect influencing the measurement.
