Annex C
(informative)
Model for estimation of radiation from photovoltaic (PV)
power generating systems
C.1 Overview
This annex presents a model for the estimation of radiation from photovoltaic (PV) power
generating systems in the radio frequency range. The model is based on theoretical
assumptions, measurement and simulation results as well as on a database with the statistical
values of relevant parameters together with appropriate model factors. The simulation results
were validated by measurement.
The model was developed for verification of the limits for the LV DC power port of power
converters (GCPCs) intended for assembly into PV power generating systems specified in
CISPR 11.
The subject of interest was the frequency range below 30 MHz and PV generators with a
nominal power throughput in the range up to 20 kVA. Of the two known modes of conducted
disturbances, radiation caused by conducted common mode (CM) disturbances was found to
be dominant. Therefore the model exclusively considers radiation caused by common mode RF
currents (i.e. antenna mode currents).
The structure of this annex is divided into two main parts.
Clause C.2 describes the general model approach mainly consisting of physical rationale,
formulae and procedural methods needed for the characterization of the interrelation of the
relevant influence factors.
The approach is based on the application of practical data for the various model input
parameters gained from measurement, simulation and statistics. Clause C.3 provides the
calculation of a resulting limit which serves the primary task of verification of the limits for the
LV DC power port of power converters specified in CISPR 11.
C.2 Description of the basic model
C.2.1 Overview
To provide a model suitable for an estimation of radiation from photovoltaic (PV) power
generating systems, various influence factors have to be considered.

Figure C.1 gives a schematic overview of the determined influence parameters considered in
the model and their interrelation.
Figure C.1 – Schematic overview of the considered model influence factors
Initially, the permissible value for the disturbance field strength limit E was determined, at
Limit
a given point A in space where the antenna of the victim receiver is located, with help of the
given formula for the mathematical interrelation of relevant parameters in a remote coupling
situation (see C.2.2).
In a second step a model for the PV power generating system was introduced to determine the
RFI potential. Subsequently, typical classes of PV power generating systems were selected.
Sets of appropriate input parameters for modelling the radiation characteristics were
determined (see C.2.3). Those input parameters comprise all the mechanical and electrical data
of the solar generator used during its simulation, including electrical permittivity and
conductivity of the surrounding ground.
Based on these conventions and assumptions, the coupling between the electromagnetic field
at the victim receiver location and the PV generator was characterized by a parameter
). By means of the field strength limit E and this coupling
(introduced as coupling factor C
PV Limit
factor C the maximum permissible disturbance power P injected into the PV generator was

estimated. Thereby the basic model for the PV power generating system was completed (see
C.2.4).
In addition, the effects of power mismatch losses in test site conditions and at the place of
operation of PV power generating systems were used to refine the model (see C.2.5).

C.2.2 Conditions at the location of the antenna of the victim receiver
Considering the technical parameters for reliable transmission and reception of the radio
service or application to be protected, the permissible interference field strength E (without
ir
consideration of probability factors) at the point A in space where the antenna of the victim
receiver is located can be determined by subtracting the necessary protection ratio R from the
P
minimum wanted field strength E needed for this radio reception (see Equation (C.1), all
w
quantities expressed in logarithmic units).
EE− R (C.1)
ir w P
The permissible interference field strength is based on the measurement bandwidth of 9 kHz
for the frequency range in question used together with the limit. If the radio service evaluated
uses the same bandwidths, as in the case of broadcast radio, no change is necessary. If
however the bandwidth of the victim radio service is lower than the measurement bandwidth, a
correction shall be applied according to 5.6.6.2 (see Equation (C.2)).

When the calculation of limits for the DC power port of a power converter (GCPC) intended for
assembly into a PV power generating system is considered, then only the radiation coupling
path to the victim radio receiver needs to be considered. The conductive coupling via the LV AC
mains lines is considered to be highly unlikely due t
