Description

Version: 2.0 start 01 August 2019
 

Short description

 Students learn methods for measuring the electrical performance of photovoltaic cells. Working in a team, students measure the electrical current and voltage of solar cells as an essential part of the lab project. Commercial software is used for data acquisition and analysis.

Module coordinator

 Baumgartner Franz (bauf)

Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives Competences Taxonomy levels
The students know the elementary electrical measuring methods with a shunt. The target variable is determined from the measurement data and the used resistive sensor characteristics (for example PT100), also used in a standard bridge circuit. M K2, K3    
They are qualified to calculate the measurement uncertainty according to the current international GUM standard. This also includes the propagation of uncertainties for the electric current in the shunt and the power of the solar cell. F, M K3    
A simple automated data acquisition programs can be created, executed and professionally documented acccording the project work to measure current, voltage and power at a solar cell, at different temperatures. F,M K4    
The laboratory work as well as the evaluated project will be carried out in a team of two SO
