Photovoltaic system performance - Part 1: Monitoring (IEC 61724-1:2017); German version EN 61724-1:2017
Betriebsverhalten von Photovoltaik-Systemen - Teil 1: Überwachung (IEC 61724-1:2017); Deutsche Fassung EN 61724-1:2017
Overview
This standard defines classes of performance monitoring systems for photovoltaic (PV) systems and serves as a guide for various monitoring system options. This part of IEC 61724 outlines equipment, methods, and terminology for performance monitoring and analysis of photovoltaic (PV) systems. It addresses sensors, installation, and accuracy for monitoring equipment in addition to measured parameter data acquisition and quality checks, calculated parameters, and performance metrics. In addition, it serves as a basis for other standards which rely upon the data collected. The responsible committee is DKE/K 373 "Photovoltaische Solarenergie-Systeme" ("Photovoltaic solar power systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
