What is PD IEC TR 63228 - Measurement protocols for photovoltaic devices about?
PD IEC TR 63228 is an international standard that discusses solar photovoltaic energy systems, and aims to enhance measurement methods for improved performance of PV technologies.
PD IEC TR 63228 specifies present perspectives on the performance evaluation of emerging PV technologies, specifically OPV, DSC, and PSC devices. These devices present some challenges for accurate measurement under the existing IEC 60904 series of standards, which were developed in the context of silicon wafer solar cells.
The primary objective of PD IEC TR 63228 is the measurement of the current-voltage (I-V) relationship under illumination for the purpose of estimating the device output power, or power conversion efficiency. Where necessary, the report makes reference to the IEC 60904 series which describes the standard approach to measuring the performance of all PV devices.
