Data report for the Northeast Residential Experiment Station, April 1982
Physical performance data obtained from photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station (NE RES) in Concord, Massachusetts, are tabulated for the month of April 1982. Five prototype residential photovoltaic systems are under test at the NE RES, each consisting of a roof-mounted 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 photovoltaic system equipment, test instrumentation, and work space. Each system is grid-connected. In addition, one full-sized PV residence - the Carlisle House - is also being monitored in Carlisle, Massachusetts. The features of the systems and of the houses are briefly summarized, and the monthly performance of the monitored houses, PV systems, and meteorological data is tabulated. Also tabulated is hourly information for an average day of the month including data on the monitored houses and prototype systems data. Data include energy consumption, array and inverter outputs, energy supplied to and by the utility, solar array panel temperatures, and total tilt insolation. Also included are tables that present the hypothetical energy exchange between the system and the utility if each prototype system supplied energy to each monitored house. These data are also graphed, as well as the duration of time for which the load had a specific value. (LEW)
