4 FAQs about Delivery time for 10MWh outdoor photovoltaic cabinet for field operations

What are the requirements for large PV power plants?

Large PV power plants (i.e., greater than 20 MW at the utility interconnection) that provide power into the bulk power system must comply with standards related to reliability and adequacy promulgated by authorities such as NERC and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

How is operations quality determined in PV plant operations?

In the field of PV plant operations, operations quality is determined by (1) the ratio of the amount of energy harvested to the potential amount of energy available for a particular plant and (2) plant equipment availability over time.

Should a PV O&M plan include decommissioning?

Include decommissioning in the PV O&M plan and/or asset management. The residential and small commercial O&M focus is on fleet performance goals rather than individual systems; meeting performance warranties of individual systems to meet customer satisfaction goals should be balanced against cost and cash-flow optimization.

Should energy availability be based on time-based availability?

When availability is applied at the component level, it may make more sense to use the time-based availability, reporting, for example, the fraction of days per year that the component was available rather than attempting to identify the energy availability associated with that specific component.
