Data report for the Northeast Residential Experiment Station, May 1982
Tabulated are physical performance data for the month of May 1982 obtained from photovoltaic energy systems under test at the Northeast Residential Experiment Station in Concord, Massachusetts. Five prototype residential photovoltaic systems are presently under test, each consisting of a roof-mounted photovoltaic array sized to meet at least 50% of the annual electrical demand of an energy-conserving house. There is also an enclosed structure to house the remainder of the system equipment, test instrumentation, and work space. All the systems are grid-connected. In addition to these prototype systems and monitored houses, one full-sized photovoltaic residence is being monitored in Carlisle, Massachusetts. The features of the prototype systems and monitored houses are tabulated, and the monthly summary tabulates meteorological information, monitored house information, and data for the photovoltaic array and power conditioning unit and the utility interface. For each hour of an average day of the month and for each house, there is tabulated the total electric energy used, array output, inverter output, inverter power, load imposed on the prototype, energy supplied to and by the utility, solar array panel temperature, and total tilt insolation. Also included is a table and histograms that present the hypothetical energy exchange with the utility if each prototype system supplied energy to each monitored house. The duration of time for which the load of each house had a specific value is graphed. (LEW)
