PV MODULE CELL TEMPERATURE

NOMINAL OPERATING CELL TEMPERATURE: Temperature of the PV module when, Irradiation is 800 W/m^2

Wind speed is 1 m/s, and Ambient temperature is 20 Deg C

We need to find the ratio between absorptivity and Loss coefficient

, = ,

Here, Tau*alpha, is the absorptivity of the module. Usually taken as 0.9 UL is the Loss coefficient Tc,NOCT is the Nominal Operating Cell Temperature. It is given in module specification Ta is the ambient temperature for NOCT conditions. It is 25 Deg C Gt,NOCT is the irradiation for NOCT conditions. It is 800 W/m^2

Now we shall find the modules temperature for any other temperature other than 25 Deg C

= +
Here, Tc is the module temperature Ta is the corresponding ambient temperature Gt is irradiation received. This is 1000W/m^2 Mu is the efficiency of the module

Now we shall find the Loss% from the values we have computed. % = . . Where, T.Cell is the temperature of the module. T.Ref is the standard operating cell temperature. This is 25 Deg C Coefficient, is the temperature coefficient of the module. We usually take this coefficient corresponding for Vmpp
