1 INTRODUCTION. The output of photovoltaic power station is affected by local solar radiation, temperature, the performance of solar panel and other factors [].The magnitude of solar radiation directly affects the amount of power generation, which is also the direct cause of intermittent and uncontrollable output power of photovoltaic power station.
However, solar radiation is highly influenced by environmental factors such as time, geography and climate, which makes it difficult to obtain stable and controllable solar radiation values for studies such as quantitative experiments, instrument calibration and performance testing [24, 25].As an adjustable artificial light source, solar simulators can …
