Summary of Test Method4.1 The evaluation of the uncertainty of any measurementsystem is dependent on two specific components: a) theuncertainty in the calibration of the measurement system, andb) the

37、 uncertainty in the routine or field measurement system.This guide provides guidance for the basic components ofuncertainty in evaluating the uncertainty for both the calibra-tion and measurement uncertainty estimates. The guide isbased on the International Bureau of Weights and Measures(acronym fro

38、m French name: BIPM) Guide to the Uncertaintyin Measurements, or GUM.44.2 The approach explains the following components; de-fining the measurement equation, determining the sources ofuncertainty, calculating standard uncertainty for each source,deriving the sensitivity coefficient using a partial d

39、erivativeapproach from the measurement equation, and combining thestandard uncertainty and the sensitivity term using the root sumof the squares, and lastly calculating the expanded uncertaintyby multiplying the combined uncertainty by a coverage factor(Fig. 1). Some of the possible sources of uncer

40、tainties andassociated errors are calibration, non-stability, zenith andazimuth response, spectral mismatch, non-linearity, tempera-ture response, aging per year, datalogger accuracy, soiling, etc.These sources of uncertainties were obtained from manufac-turers specifications, previously published r

All of these factors are included when estimatingcalibration uncertainties.NOTE 3The calibration method example mentioned in Appendix X1is based on outdoor calibration using the solar irradiance as the source.5. Signifi

45、cance and Use5.1 The uncertainty in outdoor solar irradiance measure-ment has a significant impact on weathering and durability andthe service lifetime of materials systems. Accurate solarirradiance measurement with known uncertainty will assist indetermining the performance over time of component m

46、aterialssystems, including polymer encapsulants, mirrors, Photovol-taic modules, coatings, etc. Furthermore, uncertainty estimatesin the radiometric data have a significant effect on the uncer-tainty of the expected electrical output of a solar energyinstallation.5.1.1 This influences the economic r

47、isk analysis of thesesystems. Solar irradiance data are widely used, and theeconomic importance of these data is rapidly growing. Forproper risk analysis, a clear indication of measurement uncer-tainty should therefore be required.5.2 At present, the tendency is to refer to instrumentdatasheets only

48、 and take the instrument calibration uncertaintyas the field measurement uncertainty. This leads to over-optimistic estimates. This guide provides a more realisticapproach to this issue and in doing so will also assists users tomake a choice as to the instrumentation that should be used andthe measu

49、rement procedure that should be followed.5.3 The availability of the adjunct (ADJG021317)5uncer-tainty spreadsheet calculator provides real world example,implementation of the GUM method, and assists to understandthe contribution of each source of uncertainty to the overalluncertainty estimate. Thus, the spreadsheet assists users ormanufacturers to seek methods to mitigate the uncertainty fromthe main uncertainty contributors to the overall uncertainty.6.
