§ This is the annotated WEB version of the presentation made for the CALCE core project C96-17 made during October, 1996 meeting. This version includes material which was presented at the technical break-out session in that meeting and other related information. The full report is available only to the members of CALCE.

Objectives

  • Compile and derive information on thermal influence on electrical performance
  • Identify and classify the sources of uncertainties in thermal analysis and find their individual and cumulative effects on estimated thermal profile
  • Define the required accuracy level in thermal analysis for maintaining performance within design limits

Approach

The overall approach can be summarized by the following flowchart.
