Division 3 MEASUREMENTS AND DETERMINATION OF THE PEAK POWER OUTPUT

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The measured average peak power output mPP– of the PV roof is to be determined experimentally for each vehicle variant. Initial stabilisation of the tested device is to be done in accordance with the methodology specified in the international standard IEC 61215-2:2016f1. The measurements of the peak power output shall be performed at standard test conditions as defined in the international standard IEC/TS 61836:2007f2.

A dismantled complete PV roof is to be used. The four corner points of the panel are to touch the measurement plane.

The measurements of the peak power output shall be performed at least five times and the arithmetic mean (mPP–) has to be calculated.
