Fiability Coefficient Maps for PV Systems Design

  • Conference paper
Tenth E.C. Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference

Abstract

The reliability of stand-alone photovoltaic systems is analyzed in terms of the Loss of Load Probability, LLP. With the idea of simplifier the design of PV systems a new analytic model, as accurate as the numerical models and as simple as analytic models, is proposed. For each location, the model requires as input 4 different coefficients, that can be obtained using a set of coefficient maps.
