Abstract

3kW grid connected PV(photovoltaic) systems have been constructed for evaluating and analyzing performance of PV system at FDTC(field demonstration test center) in Korea, PV systems installed in FDTC have been operating and monitored since November 2002. As climatic and irradiation conditions have been varied through long-term field test, data acquisition system has been constructed for measuring performance of PV system to observe the overall effect of environmental conditions on their operation characteristics. The performance of PV systems has been evaluated and analyzed for component perspective(PV array and power conditioning system) and global perspective(system efficiency, capacity factor, and electrical power energy) by field test. By the results, it is very important to develop optimal design technology of grid connected PV system.
