Like most renewable energy systems, solar photovoltaic power plants run intermittently, since insolation is never constant or even available for 24 h. The CF ranges from 0.05 to 0.30 for photovoltaic power plants. This performance measurement is unavoidable in comparison with conventional power generation. 5. Results and analysis 5.1.
It can accept the maximal current and voltage produced by the photovoltaic field. The power plant is equipped with 40 inverters of 500 kW DC/AC, 2 per subfield. The ∼ 520–820 VDC input range ensures AC output voltage stability with a maximal current of 1100 A at high efficiency (maximum ≥ 98.5%).
