IEA PVPS TASK 13 WORKSHOP: LESSONS
LEARNED FROM THE ANALYTICAL MONITORING
AND MODELING OF PV SYSTEMS
(
MR 7-9, AREA 9)
Optimizing the performance of PV plants is increasingly
important as the PV industry becomes more competitive.
This workshop will present work being performed as part
of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Photovoltaic
Power Systems Task 13 on Performance and Reliability
of PV Systems. In particular, the workshop will focus
on lessons learned from measuring performance from
fielded PV systems and methods for analyzing and
modeling system performance. Presenters will describe
analysis methods and tools for use with PV monitoring
data to identify system problems and better understand
technology differences in diverse environments.
