Module-ambient thermal resistance is easily obtained from its definition but the cell-module thermal resistant needs to be estimated from indirect procedures, two of them are presented in this paper. In addition, an equivalent parameter is defined, the Concentrator Nominal Operating Module/Cell Temperature (CNOMT/CNOCT), the temperature at Concentrator Standard Operating Conditions (CSOC). Definitions and expression to relate (CNOMT/CNOCT) to thermal resistances are presented, plus several examples of estimations from real operating arrays. date_type: published date: 2014 publication: AIP Conference Proceedings number: null pagerange: 144-148 event_title: 10th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems (CPV-10) event_location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA event_dates: 07/04/2014 - 09/04/2014 event_type: conference id_number: 10.1063/1.4897048 institution: Ies department: Electronica2 refereed: TRUE issn: 0094-243X book_title: 10th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems (CPV-10) comprojects_type: MINECO comprojects_type: FP7 comprojects_code: IPT-2011-1468-920000 comprojects_code: 283798 comprojects_acronym: comprojects_acronym: NGCPV comprojects_leader: comprojects_leader: UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID comprojects_title: comprojects_title: A new generation of concentrator photovoltaic cells, modules and systems citation: Nuñez Júdez, Rubén and Anton Hernandez, Ignacio and Askins, Stephen and Sala Pano, Gabriel and Araki, Kenji (2014).
