摘要
To test performance and ageing of amorphous silicon PhotoVoltaic (a-Si PV) modules, an Italian Electric Company (AEM S.p.a.-Torino) has installed a PV system (12kWp) connected to a three-phase grid. As well-known, the performance of a PV field depends on irradiance, module temperature and ageing. In order to separate the ageing effect from the irradiance and temperature influence, it is necessary to know the Begin Of Life (BOL) performance, at the irradiance and module temperature, measured during the life of the PV field. The deviations, between the experimental data and the BOL performance, provide the ageing of the PV modules. This paper proposes a simulation procedure that gives the BOL performance and allows to determine the monthly and yearly ageing of the PV field. The simulation results, related to the 12 kWp field, are reported. This procedure can be also applied to stand alone PV systems with modules of different technologies.
