Dr. Keith Emery
NREL, USA
Dr Keith Emery is speaking on "PV Cells and Modules Calibrations at NREL". He established and has managed the Cell and Module Performance Characterization team at NREL since 1980. The team established the procedures for calibrating cells and modules that have since been codified in standards and adopted by the international PV community.
Dr Emergy received his BS in Physics and MSEE from Michigan State in 1979 and worked on a PhD at Colorado State in 1979-1980 and 1982. His graduate thesis work was in the area of comprehensive modelling of the pulsed HF laser, electron and laser beam vapor phase epitaxy of oxides and nitrides, and ion beam sputtering of tin oxide on Si. He has 308 publications and 5 chapters in PV books to date. His ISO 17025 PV accredited calibration group provides the community with reference cell calibrations and efficiency certification. He is also active in PV standards development and consulting on PV performance rating hardware, solar simulation, current versus voltage measurement software and procedures. He is a lifetime member of the Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES), senior member of IEEE, member of the ASTM E44 and IEC TC-82 PV standards committees. He is an Associate Editor in the IEEE Journal of PV and on the editorial board of Progress in Photovoltaics and Renewable Energy. He is co-awardee of two R&D 100 awards, and recipient of the 2007 Paul Rappaport, 2009 Harold M. Hubbard award, and the 2012 World Renewable Energy Network Pioneer Award.
