PD IEC/TS 61724-3:2016

What is PD IEC/TS 61724-3 -Photovoltaic system performance about?

The IEC 61724 series is a European Standard that discusses the photovoltaic system. The main objective of IEC 61724 is to specify various requirements to evaluate photovoltaic system performance. PD IEC/TS 61724-3 is the third part of the series and a Technical Specification, defines a procedure for measuring and analyzing the energy production of a specific photovoltaic system relative to expected electrical energy production for the same system from actual weather conditions as defined by the stakeholders of the test. The method for predicting electrical energy production is outside of the scope of this technical specification. The energy production is characterized specifically for times when the system is operating (available); times when the system is not operating (unavailable) are quantified as part of an availability metric.
