What are technical key performance indicators for photovoltaic systems?
This article evaluates technical key performance indicators (KPIs) for photovoltaic systems during operation, outlining challenges in data processing and KPI accuracy. It covers important KPIs, data management best practices, shortcomings of current standards, and the impact of data quality on performance ratio (PR) calculations.
What are the KPIs of a PV system?
The KPIs reported are Availability (% up-time) and Performance Ratio (PR). If the PV system output was zero or less than 5% of the model estimate, then the time interval was counted as “unavailable.” For hours when the PV system was “available,” the measured energy delivery was divided by a reference yield to calculate PR.
Why should I use KPI data in my PV project?
Mapping and Geospatial Analysis: Advanced mapping techniques using KPI data allow for a comprehensive assessment of PV performance across regions, supporting tailored operations and early-stage design considerations for new PV projects. You may download the report without submitting responses.
What are the KPIs of a battery system?
For battery systems, Efficiency and Demonstrated Capacity are the KPIs that can be determined from the meter data. Efficiency is the sum of energy discharged from the battery divided by sum of energy charged into the battery (i.e., kWh in/kWh out).
What is the IEA PVPS Task 13 report?
The IEA PVPS Task 13 report provides a detailed framework for implementing these KPIs in order to optimize performance, reduce costs, and promote sustainability in PV systems. By incorporating all technical and economic KPIs, stakeholders can better assess system health and financial viability.
How is energy storage capacity calculated?
The energy storage capacity, E, is calculated using the efficiency calculated above to represent energy losses in the BESS itself. This is an approximation since actual battery efficiency will depend on operating parameters such as charge/discharge rate (Amps) and temperature.
