Solar power plants are an important source of renewable energy. These plants require regular maintenance and testing to ensure their optimal performance. One of the most important tests for solar power plants is the Performance Ratio (PR) test.
The power generation of a photovoltaic (PV) system may be documented by a capacity test [1, 2] that quantifies the power output of the system at set conditions, such as an irradiance of 1000 W/m2, an ambient temperature of 20°C, and a wind speed of 1 m/s. A longer test must be used to verify the system performance under a range of conditions.
After completing and before the commercial operation, large solar systems in utility-sized power plants need to pass performance acceptance tests conducted by the engineering, procurement and construction contractor or owners.
Renewable solar energy power generation technologies are concentrated solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV). There are four major CSP technologies, PT, linear Fresnel (LF), tower and dish systems. PV systems are more proven technology that can be built easier, at a lower cost and a much shorter time than CSP plants.
It measures the actual energy output of the plant against its theoretical energy output. The PR test is conducted to ensure that the plant is performing as per the contractual requirements. Functional Guarantee Tests for Solar PV Plant: Functional Guarantee for Solar PV Plant comprises of two Guarantees.
Functional Guarantee Tests for Solar PV Plant: Functional Guarantee for Solar PV Plant comprises of two Guarantees. First is the Performance Ratio Guarantee test for operational acceptance, and second is the Annual Generation Guarantee up to a period of 10 years (O&M Period), starting from the date of Operational Acceptance.
