Laboratory #1: Measurement of the current-voltage characteristic of photovoltaic cells under dark conditions

In this laboratory practice, students are required to trace the current-voltage (I-V) curve of PV cells under dark conditions in case of forward bias and reverse bias.

Laboratory #2: Measurement of the current-voltage curve of irradiated solar cells

In this laboratory practice, students are required to trace the current-voltage (I-V) curve of 4 series connected PV cells. They are irradiated by 8 artificial light lamps simulating the solar irradiance.


Laboratory #3: Measurement of the current-voltage characteristic curve of a transistor

In this laboratory practice, students are required to trace the current-voltage characteristic curve of a transistor.


Laboratory #4: Measurement of the performance of a DC/AC converter

In this laboratory practice, students are required to measure the performance of a DC/AC converter by using a Data Acquisition System (high quality, DAQ). Students can see the waveforms of DC and AC voltage and current, and calculate the efficiency in different operating condition.
