IEC TS 63156 pdf – Photovoltaic systems – Power conversion equipment performance – Energy evaluation method
1 Scope
This document describes the procedure for evaluating the energy conversion performance ofstand-alone or grid-connected power conversion equipment (PCE) used in Pv systems. Thisprocedure includes the calculation of inverter performance to anticipate the energy yield of Pv systems.This evaluation method is based on standard power efficiency calculation proceduresfor PCE found in lEC 61683 and IEC 62891, but provides additional methods for evaluating the expected overall energy efficiency for a particular location given solar load profiles. Thisdocument can be used as the energy evaluation method for PCE in lEC TS 61724-3,whichdefines a procedure for evaluating a PV system’s actual energy production relative to itsmodeled or expected performance.
