6.6.4 PV MODULES
As required by IEC 62446, all the module strings shall be tested before their connection to the inverter.
As a minimum, the continuity, insulation and connection polarity tests shall be executed. In addition, string
and short-circuit currents must be carried out.
6.6.4.1 INDENTIFICATION OF PV MODULES
Every panel considered suitable for the installation shall be added to a list so that its serial number and
location, within the photovoltaic field, can be kept on record. The sample chosen will be identified by
means of the serial number and the model etc., as shown in the following table:
…
…
n
The open circuit voltage (no load) of each PV string will be measured by a suitable measurement tool. The
verification shall be carried out before closing the switches or installing string fuses.
In accordance with the IEC 62446, the following procedure will be used for the verification of the open
circuit voltage of the photovoltaic strings:
The measured Voc shall satisfy the following condition, w/r to the PV plant design:
where Vexpected is the open circuit voltage theoretically recordable for the PV strings and calculated as
follows:
where:
Voc_ref is the nominal open circuit voltage of the modules, as indicated by the module supplier in the
module data sheet
Tmod is the temperature recorded on the photovoltaic module representing the tested string (which
shall be centrally located on the tested string), measured with an infrared thermometer with a precision
better than ± 1%;
Tmod_ref is the module back sheet temperature at reference conditions (typically 25°C)
β is the temperature coefficient of Voc supplied by the module supplier in the module data sheet.
The short-circuit current of each PV string should be measured with suitable equipment (measurement
accuracy of at least 1%).
The measures will be carried out after checking that all PV strings are isolated from each other and that all
switching devices and disconnector to other strings are open.
The test shall be conducted during periods of irradiance greater than 500 W/m2.
The measured values must be compared with the expected design values and the following condition must
be satisfied:
where Isc_expected is the short circuit current theoretically recordable for the PV strings calculated as
follows:
where:
Isc_ref is the nominal short circuit current of the modules, as indicated by the module supplier in the
module data sheet;
Gmeas is the irradiation recorded on the photovoltaic strings representing the tested electrical panel,
measured through a Secondary Standard (ISO 9060) pyranometer installed with the same tilt of the
panels with an installation precision (inclination) better than ± 1°
In the case of systems with several identical strings and stable irradiation conditions, the currents can be
compared between the strings. The obtained values may differ for not more than 5% in a stable irradiance
condition.
A short circuit will be made in the test string. This can be achieved by means of:
A temporary short-circuit cable connected to a switch disconnector already present in the tested
circuit;
A device suitable for the purpose, temporarily installed in the tested circuit and removed right after the
test.
In any case, the device or the short-circuit cables must be sized to withstand a higher than the open circuit
voltage and the short-circuit current of the tested string.
IV curves shall be obtained for a sample of strings covering at least 5% of overall strings.
The I-V-curve tracer will be able to measure single strings or complete junction boxes.
The instrument shall have the following accuracies or better, for each parameter to be measured:
V: +/-1%
I: +/- 1%
Irradiation: +/- 5% (Reference Cell)
Temperature +/- 3%
The whole I-V curve of one string or one junction box will be measured within about 100 ms. Current, voltage
and irradiance are recorded simultaneously. Each string or junction box will be measured twice in immediate
succession; in case of large deviations, one additional I-V curve of the same sub-array is to be measured.
Average irradiance in the IV curve trace shall be at least 600 W/m 2. In case a lower value is recorded, the
measure shall be repeated.
In the case that the above irradiation threshold is not reached in a reasonable amount of days, a smaller
value can be agreed to be used.
A representative sample shall be agreed on site by the parties, in order to verify the IV curves for strings in
different locations of the PV plant.
Before starting the measurements of the I-V-curves the sub-arrays to be measured have to be disconnected
completely from the inverter, using the DC-switch in the Junction Boxes.
For each cable/core shall be checked point to point to confirm the right cable connection
7. THERMAL IMAGING
Following the start-up of each Functional System, the Contractor, under the supervision of the Client, shall
carry out a thermal imaging inspection on all major components using appropriate equipment (IR camera or
equivalent).
The inspections will be carried out after the Plant or a Functional System has been operating at 100% of the
rated power for at least one hour.
