6 FAQs about [Solar thermal power generation project testing standards]

Do commercial solar projects require performance acceptance tests?

Commercial agreements in a utility-scale solar power project invariably require performance acceptance tests as part of the turnover of major equipment to the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor or project owner.

Is a solar simulator a good choice for a weather-independent performance test?

The methods have been compared in several round-robin tests and the overall uncertainty achieved was around ±2% (pp) for the ηhem value. A solar simulator creates the possibility of the weather-independent performance test, which can be scheduled at a short notice, with a very high repeatability.

What is a steady state thermal power test?

Test Conditions for Short Duration Test: The steady state thermal power tests can be run on clear days during any time of year. Even with a high direct normal insolation (DNI), which can be experienced on a clear winter day, the important solar resource term that dictates the thermal energy input into the solar field is the ANI.

When should a solar system be tested?

In the event of multi-day fully cloudy or of non-uniform cloud coverage as mentioned just above, the test should appropriate. Additionally, the functionality of the solar system should be observed with regard to such items as daily start-up, normal operation and shut-down.

Are performance acceptance guidelines needed for parabolic trough solar fields?

Conclusions and Future Work Significant progress has been on the development of performance acceptance guidelines for parabolic trough solar fields. This development has involved and benefited from input from a wide variety of stakeholders throughout the international CSP community.

How to measure spectral quality of a solar simulator?

1.5 solar radiation spectrum differ by more than 1%, a correction shall be applied to the test results. Measurement of the solar simulator's spectral qualities shall be in the plane of the collector over the wavelength range of 0.3 μm to 3 μm and shall be determined in bandwidths of 0.1 μm or smaller.
