Bu amaçla giriş kısmında yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından güneş enerjisinin önemi vurgulanmış, solar simülatörlerin tanımı ve gerekliliği açıklanmıştır. Sonraki bölümlerde ise güneş ışığı detayları belirtilmiş, solar simülatörlerde kullanılan diğer ışık kaynakları incelenmiş, LED ışık kaynaklarının diğerlerine göre farkları ortaya konulmuştur. LED solar simülatörler için ASTM E927-10 ve IEC- 60904-9 standartlarında belirtilen performans kriterleri detaylandırılmış ve bu kriterlerin belirlenmesindeki değerler formüle edilmiştir. Yine aynı standartlar doğrultusunda LED solar simülatörler konusunda gerçekleştirilen bilimsel çalışmalar incelenmiş ve kronolojik olarak detaylandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda solar simülatörlerde kullanılan ışık kaynaklarının avantaj ve dezavantajları bir tablo halinde sunulmuştur. Karşılaştırma sonrasında solar simülatörlerde ışık kaynağı olarak kullanılan LED’lerin önemi ve gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.

Survey on LED Light Source Solar Simulators

Abstract

In this study; LED light source solar simulators, which test photovoltaic devices and whose use has been increasing in recent years, have been examined. For this purpose, the definition and necessity of solar simulators are explained by emphasizing the importance of solar energy one of the renewable energy sources, in the introduction part. In the next chapters, the details of sunlight are specified and other light sources used in solar simulators are examined, and the differences between LED light sources compared to others are revealed. For LED Solar simulators, the performance criteria specified in ASTM E927-10 and IEC-60904-9 standards have been detailed and the values in determining these criteria are formulated. Again, in line with the same standards, scientific studies on LED solar simulators were examined and detailed chronologically. At the end of the study, the advantages and disadvantages of light sources used in solar simulators are presented in a table. After the comparison, the importance and necessity of LEDs used as light sources in solar simulators are emphasized.
