PACT Data Management Plan (V.1.0)

White, Robert W.; Kirsten, Perry K.; King, Bruce H.

The Perovskite PV Accelerator for Commercial Technology (PACT) is an independent validation center for the evaluation of perovskite PV technologies and their bankability. The center is led by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and includes as part of its team Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), CFV Labs, Black and Veatch (B&V), and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). The goals of the center are to: Develop and improve indoor and outdoor performance characterization methods, Develop and validate accelerated qualification testing for early failures (5-10 years), Research degradation and failure modes, Validate outdoor performance, and Provide bankability services to US perovskite PV (PSC) industry. The importance of data and data management to the success and outcomes of the PACT center is paramount. This report describes how data will be managed and protected by PACT and identifies important data management principles that will guide our approach.
