Photovoltaic – Trainingsystem for vocational and advanced training

plus module stand. Using a dimmable spotlightwhich is vertically as well as horizontally movablefixed to an outrigger, seasonal daily curves caneasily be simulated.

Additional options are the change of slope angleand the simulation of the influence of irradiation andtemperature on the characteristic curve of a PV-module.

To ensure a reproducibility of measurements andnot to depend on the weather, a PV-modulesimulator was developed, which exactly simulatesthe behaviour of a PV-module. The short circuitcurrent can be adjusted.

What a pupil ortrainee can workout on his own inpractice orientedlabscale experim-ents, is trans-ferable to realsystems withoutproblems.

The Solar branchis one of theimportant growthmarket of thef u r t u r e . T h enumber of jobsg r o w s , t h ed e m a n d o fspecialists andexecutive staffsi n c r e a s e scontinuous.For this reasonwor ldwide thevocational andadvanced trainingin the field ofphotovoliiac willbecome more andmore important.

Development

Application

Construction

In cooperation with the ISET - Institut für SolareEnergieversorgungstechnik e. V. (now: Frauen-hofer Institut für Windenergie und Energiesystem-technik IWES) in Kassel the company IKS Photo-voltaik developed the Photovoltaic-TrainingsystemSolartrainer profi.

The PV-Trainingsystem is suited for the instructionschools, vocational training Schools, training

centres, evening classes and universities.Supported learning objectives can be electrical andsystem engineering , construction, mode ofoperation, connecting and installation of PV-plants.It can be used both to the supplementarydemonstration of lessons and courses as well as forthe use in practical training

The system consists of individual plugin units eachwith components for different experimentalarrangements. The plugin units are put in therackside and connected according to the demand.The conception of the system allows indoor andoutdoor experiments.Indoor experiments are easily possible amongothers because of the system included PV-module

One device - double benefit: Innovative PV measurement equipment foruse at the training system and at real PV plants

PV vocational education and training

Double benefit

The particular feature: The newly into the PVtraining system integrated Photovol ta icmeasurement equipment can be used afterwardsfor measurments and tests at real photovoltaicinstallations. A system withy double benefit.Because as always before we have focused on ahigh practical relevance when selecting thecomponents.

However, this also means that this subject has to bean integral part of the vocational education andtraining in the field of photovoltaic. A development,that was taken up with our latest product innovation.The well-known PV training system SolartrainerProfi was expanded with an measurementequipment, consisting of an innovative multifunctioninstrument, remote datalogger with radiotransmission, transducer clamps and an ISETSensor irradiation sensor with dimmable halogenspot for setting of irradiation values, as well aspractice-oriented didactic materials.

The PV training system Solartrainer Profi forvocational education and training wasexpanded with an innovative Photovoltaicmeasurement equipment

The background: Today PV plants are working veryreliable. Nevertheless they often generate only apart of the maximum possible power. The causesare multible and it is not rare that they can be tracedback before the period of the actual installation.Because even on the way to the installation sitemicro cracks can arise because of incorrect storageor as a result of incautious transport. The microcracks cannot be seen with the naked eye, howeverthe consequences have far reaching implications:If water has penetrated or soldered bonds wereinterrupted the efficiency of solar modules can benoticeable reduced. The financial losses for privateoperators as well as investors in large solar systemsmay be substancial. In practice the possibility ofmonitoring the characteristic curves of single solarmodules, strings and the test of completephotovoltaic installations becomes more and moreimportant.

With the lux meter class-rooms and laboratoryareas can be inspected of adequate and evenlydistributed illuminance level - which is prerequisitefor a non fatigue seeing.This way it is possible to detect deficiencies andwasteful illumination can be avoided.

With the flow rate meter the water consumption atevery spigot can be determined.

With the energy meter the energy consumption ofelectrical appliances can be determined as well asthe energy costs.

Technical features of the

Photovoltaic plant system operators want tohave simple, quick and reliable informationabout the function of their PV-plant.Thermoelectric radiation sensors cannotcompared easily with a real PV-generatorwith respect to the "energy yield" becauseof their different spectral sensitiveness aswell as their different reflection- and tem-perature characteristics.In addition you have the relatively highacquisition cost.In contrast to this, the radiation sensors ofthe lower price category do not fulfill thelong-term accuracy requirements and mayfind no acceptance because of their "low-cost equipment ”, in particular in the field ofbuildings.The solar cell sensoreliminates these deficits. It fits well thephysical characteristics of the solargenerator. The simple and compact butnevertheless precise construct ionpredestine it for use

With the new housing design it gains thenecessary acceptance in the technicalservices for facilities as well as in thegeneral field of architecture.

The solar radiation is converted into aproportional current by an exact definedsolar cell . Via a specific shunt resistancewhich is coupled thermicall to the compactaluminum housing, the measured voltage isdetermined.The almost identical geometrical construc-tion of the test cell, comparable with PVmodules, as well as the specifically formedhousing with possibilities of outside tem-perature link-up and high weatherresistance assure reproducible results ofmeasurement.A Pt 1000 - temperature sensor registersthe cell temperature over a two-wire dataline with high measuring accuracy.The calibration of every

It is clearly visible and derivable that for the energetical ratingand monitoring of a PV-plant should only be used the sametechnology of the sensor and the PV-plant because of thedifferent spectral sensitivity of the different technologies.

Monitoring concept

Using the in a onitoringconcept the received radiation powermeasured on the PV generator level iscompared with the output (AC) generated bythe PV system.The comparison quotient represents afunctional and quality parameter for the PV-plant in simplest way.By the implemented evaluation logic, solarmodule manufacturers, traders and evenelectricians receive via the cumulatedenergy output an insight into a simplified"course of life documentation" of theirproducts. In this way, questions about a"guaranteed” energy output are discussedmore reasonably, the energy output can beprovable.

Child oriented readout system forvisualization of energy yields fromphotovoltaic plants

Photovoltaic plants as shining examples onthe roofs of kindergartens and schools

Visualization not child oriented so far

New concept of a visualization

The possibility to convert sunlight with solar cellsdirectly into electric power, makes the photovoltaicto one of the popular renewable energies.It is for this reason that photovoltaic plants areinstalled enhanced on kindergartens and schools.Apart from the aspirated example function the kidsshould be most familiarized with renewableenergies.

For the visualization of the energy yields of photo-voltaic plants typically the “standard solution” isused: A large sized digital display to show the actualpower and the total electric power fed to the mains.It has turned out however that most of the kidsquickly loose interest in the display also because itis not really plain.

That is why the University of Applied sciencesMünster has greated a new concept of visualizationwithin the scope of a disatation.The preproduction model was developed by thecompany IKS Photovoltaik as a licence partner.
