6 FAQs about [Outdoor power loss rate standard]

What is performance loss rate (PLR)?

The Performance Loss Rate (PLR) of a research or commercial PV power plant system quan-tifies the decline of the power output over time either as a single assumed linear rate in units of %/a, or %/year, or more recently as a rate over multiple time segments over the lifetime of the system.

What are the four steps of performance loss rate analysis?

The four steps are 1) input data cleaning and filtering, 2) performance metric selection (performance ratio (PR) or predicted power (P) based), corrections and data aggregation, 3) time series feature corrections and finally 4) application of a statistical modeling methods to determine the Performance Loss Rate value and its uncertainty.

How do performance loss rates differ over a five-year period?

The performance loss rates over the five-year period differ by up to 0.65%. The choice of the analysis technique affects the resulting performance loss rates. The performance loss trend is not affected by the analysis technique. Duration of the data affects the performance loss rate results.

What is the relationship between degradation and performance loss rate?

Relation between degradation and performance loss rate—PLR expresses all losses as a single rate. Although rarely measured in commercial and utility power plants, continuous module IV curves may give attributes to what drives PLR.

What is the performance loss rate of a mono-c-Si system?

For the mono-c-Si systems these are in the range of 0.25–0.98%/year while all multi-c-Si systems exhibited annual performance loss rates which were lower than 1%/year. In contrast, most thin-film technologies showed higher annual performance loss rates compared to the c-Si systems, in the range of 1.87–2.27%/year over the same period.

Is outdoor minimum temperature a determining factor for long-term stabilized performance?

Outdoor minimum temperature was found to be the determining factor for long-term stabilized performance. Fanni et al. investigated the annealing and degradation processes in flexible triple junction a-Si modules . The degradation depended on the electric load: it was faster in open-circuit conditions than in short-circuit conditions.
