Operation and maintenance of solar power plant ppt

How to maintain a solar facility?

Preventive Maintenance 1 Visual inspection of Solar Facility’s general site conditions, PV arrays, electrical equipment, mounting structure, fence, shading, trackers, vegetation, animal damage, erosion, corrosion, and discolored panels. 1x per year 2

How to monitor a solar power plant?

Remote monitoring: A solar power plant constantly needs to be monitored to detect breakdowns and optimise its operation. The same function could be performed either on-site or remotely wherein we retrieve all the data either from the inverter or from communicating equipment (probes, meters etc.).

What is a good data presentation for PV plant operations?

9.4 Data Presentation Good reporting is essential to obtain value from monitoring data. 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.

Why do solar plant operators need monitoring data?

Solar plant operators require monitored data to analyze and identify the root cause of performance issues observed by the operator. It is critical to identify the root cause of failure to reduce maintenance costs when dispatching service providers. There are two ways to identify root causes of failures and performance problems:

What does a solar power plant do?

It includes inspection, supervision, sending signals and messages, and receiving signals from the environment about irradiation. At CleanMax, we understand that our clients expect the solar power plants to achieve high levels of power generation.

Why is solar PV plant documentation important?

Solar PV plant documentation is crucial for an in-depth understanding of design, configuration and technical details thereof. It is Asset Owner ́s responsibility to provide those documents and if not available, they shoul, as best practice, be recreated at the Asset Owner ́s cost.
