Intermediate photovoltaic system application experiment operational performance report. Volume 2 for Newman Power Station Site, El Paso, Texas

Technical Report · Sat Aug 01 04:00:00 EDT 1981

OSTI ID:5861440

Performance data are given for a photovoltaic power supply at a Texas utility for the month of June, 1981. The monthly and daily electrical energy produced, insolation, and array efficiency are given. The energy produced is graphed as a function of power level, voltage, cell temperature, and hour of the day, and the system availability for each day of the month is graphed. The heating and cooling loads and average ambient temperature and wind speed are given for the month, and the cell temperature, ambient temperature, wind speed and insolation are graphed as a function of the hour of the day. Also the number of occurrences of wind for different azimuth angles are given. (LEW)
