Intermediate photovoltaic system application experiment operational performance report. Volume 4 for Mt. Laguna Radar Station, Mt. Laguna, CA

Technical Report · Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 EST 1981

OSTI ID:5648605

Performance data are given for a radar station in California for the months of September and October, 1981. Monthly and daily energy production, monthly and daily incident radiation totals, and monthly and daily array field efficiencies are presented. Energy production is graphed as a function of power level, voltage, cell temperature, and hour of the day for each month. Power conditioner input, output, and efficiency are given for each month. The capacity factor is given. The daily availability is graphed for each month. Monthly insolation data, heating and cooling load, ambient temperature average for the month, wind speed and direction data, hourly cell temperature, ambient temperature, and hourly insolation data are presented.
