Data report for the Northeast Residential Experiment Station, January 1982
Physical performance data for the month of January 1982 obtained from photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station (NE RES) in Concord, Massachusetts are tabulated. Five prototype residential photovoltaic systems are under test at the NE RES. Each consists of a roof-mounted PV array sized to meet at least 50% of the annual electrical demand of an energy-conserving house and an enclosed structure to house the remainder of the PV equipment, test instrumentation and work space. The arrays provide DC power which is converted to AC by power-conditioning equipment to service all the usual loads of a residence. Each prototype system is grid connected. Another house in Carlisle, Massachusetts provided with a PV system is also being monitored. The computational basis for the data reported is given. A monthly summary tabulates the monthly performance of the PV systems and monitored houses as well as meteorological data. An hour-by-hour tabulation of information is presented for an average day of the month, including monitored house and prototype systems data and also a table that presents the hypothetical energy exchange if each prototype system supplied energy to each monitored house. A monthly load duration curve is provided for each monitored house. (LEW)
