33 SENSORS 33 IRRADIANCE SENSORS SILICIUM SI-420-TC, SI-420-TC-T AND SI-RS485-TC-T V2 IRRADIANCE SENSOR SI-12TC UND SI-12TC-T The irradiance values measured by the sensors allow the target yield of a PV system to be calculated. By comparing target with actual yield, inconsistencies can be identified quickly and reliably. The SI-RS485-TC-T V2 sensor also records the temperature of the sensor element and thus delivers an approximate module temperature. The short-circuit current of a silicon solar cell is proportional to the irradiance level. The SI-12TC sensors use a monocrystalline solar cell, which is operated in short circuit via a low-ohm resistor. The sensors feature active temperature compensation. In addition to irradiance measurement, the SI-12TC-T sensors allow solar cell temperature measurement. Measurements are taken by a temperature sensor laminated onto the cell itself.

Ideally, the sensor should be combined with an irradiance protector in order to prevent any falsification of the measurement values. This component measures the ambient temperature in a casing using a PT1000 resistance sensor. When short cables are used, it can be connected directly to an analog input of the data logger. An additional voltage converter is required for longer distances. The sensor measures the ambient temperature via a PT1000 measuring resistor. These sensors are used to measure the module temperature and consist of a PT1000 / PT100 sensor element. The PT1000 can be connected straight to the data logger without a signal converter.

37 DIRECT MARKETING 37

38 DIRECT MARKETING 38 REMOTE POWER CONTROL (RPC) DIRECT MARKETING Requirements of the market bonus model implemented with ease Remote Power Control (RPC) is ideal for the direct marketing of a PV system. RPC is an open software interface from the blue Log X series of data loggers which communicates via the physical Ethernet interface (RJ45) of the blue Log. It is based on the Modbus TCP communication protocol. Via RPC, the active power of a PV system can be influenced directly. This occurs alongside the grid operator s grid feed-in management without influencing its control commands. The data logger interprets the control signals, e.g. of the direct marketer, via RPC and forwards these, prioritized accordingly, to the PV system. The requirement having the lowest power level always has top priority. In addition, specific measured values and data can be retrieved via RPC, e.g. information regarding the current active power control value and the specified target values of the grid operator and the RPC interface. In accordance with legal requirements, meteocontrol also allows the current actual feed-in figures to be called up via this interface for direct marketing.
