This paper presents a development procedure of a testbed platform for measuring and evaluating photovoltaic cells within an indoor environment.Methodologies and components required to develop a testbed capable of replicating different indoor environment effects are proposed. A signaling outline is provided in addition to an automated plan for measurement, data acquisition and storage. Three methods of light intensity adjustment are suggested and the effect of each one on the light spectrum is analyzed. Finally, some real collected data from different measurements done in the testbed platform are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
