A bankable method of assessing the performance of a CPV plant

摘要: Concentrating Photovoltaics (CPV) is an alternative to flat-plate module photovoltaic (PV) technology. The bankability of CPV projects important issue pave the way toward a swift and sustained growth in this PV plant generally addressed through modeling its energy yield under baseline loss scenario, followed by on-site measurement campaign aimed at verifying performance. This paper proposes procedure for assessing performance project, articulated around four main successive steps: Solar Resource Assessment, Yield Certificate Provisional Acceptance, Final Acceptance. methodology allows long-term production project be estimated with associated uncertainty ≈5%. To our knowledge, no such method has been proposed industry yet, critical situation hindered or made impossible completion several undertaken world. motive bring practical solution urgent problem. can operated wide range climatic conditions, makes it possible assess whose design uses any technologies currently available on market. also compliant both international standards local regulations. In consequence, applicability general international.
