Abstract
To verify the design of a standalone photovoltaic (PV) system, a test facility has been installed. This paper describes a platform to test the stand-alone solar system according to the IEC62124 standard. Essentially, this entire system involves the integration of a Personal Computer (PC), Data Acquisition (DAQ), an AC load and a solar array simulator (SAS) to test and simulate a stand-alone PV system. The main functions of this test facility are data acquisition, display, save and analysis data and print reports. The information obtained by monitoring parameters, such as average battery's temperature, voltage and current is fed to the PC via the DAQ for analysis. This customized control interface has been developed by utilizing Labview software. This new system boasts of high accuracy measurements coupled with the commercial viability of low cost.
