Title:
ESTIMATION METHOD FOR OPERATION VOLTAGE OF SOLAR BATTERY CELL IN SOLAR CELL MODULE AND SOLAR BATTERY CELL OPERATION VOLTAGE ESTIMATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/122105
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An estimation method for a cell operation voltage includes: bringing one cell into a state in which light is shielded; detecting a small change of the output current of a module in that state; irradiating another cell with a modulated light in that state and detecting a small change of the output current; detecting the operation voltage of the module in that state; generating a first calibration line (L1) by connecting a first point (P1) and a second point (P2) which are plotted on a coordinate axis along which voltages and resistor relative ratios (r△I) are set; irradiating a cell, the operation voltage of which is to be estimated, with the modulated light in a state in which none of the cells is shielded from light and detecting a small change of the output current of the module; detecting the operation voltage of the module in that state; generating a second calibration line (L2) by connecting a third point (P3) and the second point (P2) which are plotted on the coordinate axis; calculating a resistor relative ratio value of the cell, the operation voltage of which is to be estimated; and calculating a value of the voltage of a fourth point (P4) as an operation voltage of the cell to be estimated, said fourth point (P4) being a point that becomes the resistor relative ratio value and lies on the second calibration line (L2).
