Abstract

The Photovoltaic (PV) Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) organized a blind PV performance modeling intercomparison to allow PV modelers to blindly test their models and modeling ability against real system data. Measured weather and irradiance data were provided along with detailed descriptions of PV systems from two locations (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA and Roskilde, Denmark). Participants were asked to simulate the plane-of-array irradiance, module temperature, and DC power output from six systems and submit their results to Sandia for processing. This dataset includes seven MS-Excel sheets with instructions, notes and all necessary data (weather, irradiance, temperature, power) used for the data analysis of the blind modeling comparison. The hourly data represent six different systems from Albuquerque, NM and Roskilde, Denmark over a period of one year. These data are useful for PV performance model validation studies.

Data for Validating Models for PV Module Performance

Dataset Marion, Bill ; Anderberg, Allan ; Deline, Chris ; ...

This data encompasses performance data measured for flat-plate photovoltaic (PV) modules installed in Cocoa, Florida; Eugene, Oregon; and Golden, Colorado. The data include PV module current-voltage curves and associated meteorological data for approximately one-year periods. The data was acquired with the NREL Performance and Energy Rating Testbed (PERT) and the mobile Performance and Energy Rating Testbed (mPERT).
PV Module Operating Temperature - Data and Resources

Dataset Driesse, Anton ; Theristis, Marios ; Stein, Joshua

The Photovoltaic Systems Evaluation Laboratory (PSEL) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) in Albuquerque, NM has an extensive test site where PV modules and other system components are deployed and monitored for testing and evaluation. For this dataset PV Performance Labs has assembled one year of measurements from the Systems Long-Term Evaluation (SLTE) project (formerly known as PV Lifetime) providing the main variables needed to investigate and validate PV module operating temperature models: irradiance, ambient temperature, wind speed and back-of-module temperature. For use with more advanced thermal modeling, an estimate of down-welling long-wave radiation is also included.
PV module spectral response measurements - Data and Resources

Dataset Driesse, Anton ; Theristis, Marios ; Stein, Joshua S

"This dataset includes spectral response curves for 12 commercial silicon module types that are deployed at SNL in Albuquerque. The modules chosen for evaluation were originally purchased by SNL for the PV Lifetime project (renamed to Systems Long-Term Evaluation [SLTE]). The majority of those modules are deployed outdoors for long-term evaluation, but several modules of each type were placed in storage for future comparison purposes. One stored module of each type was sent to NREL for the spectral response measurements. NREL used the recently developed Module Quantum Efficiency (QE) test bed. What makes this system unique is that it scansmore »« less
U.S. PV-Suitable Rooftop Resources

Dataset Phillips, Caleb ; Melius, Jenny

This dataset contains zipcode resolution estimates of suitable area on small (1,000-5,000 m^2), medium (5,000-10,000 m^2) and large (>10,000 m^2) buildings' rooftops for PV deployment.
PV inverter experimental data

Dataset Prabakar, Kumaraguru ; Ganguly, Subhankar ; Velaga, Yaswanth Nag ; ...

The increase in power electronic based generation sources require accurate modeling of inverters. Accurate modeling requires experimental data over wider operation range. We used 20 kW off-the-shelf grid following PV inverter in the experiments. We used controllable AC supply and controllable DC supply to emulate AC and DC side characteristics. The experiments were performed at NREL's Energy Systems Integration Facility. Due to the limitations of the DC supply used, inverter is tested under 75%, 50%, 25% load conditions (This dataset does not contain 100% load condition). In the first dataset, for each operating condition, controllable AC source voltage is variedmore »« less
