...M. Torres; F. J. Muñoz; J. V. Muñoz; C. Rus The Guidelines for the Assessment of Photovoltaic Plants provided by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the International Standard IEC 61724 recommend procedures for the analysis of monitored data to asses the overall performance of photovoltaic (PV...

... is characterized by two parameters, i.e., drivetrain and tower acceleration. An unsupervised data-mining algorithm, the k-means clustering algorithm, was applied to develop the first monitoring model. The other two monitoring models for detecting abnormal values of drivetrain and tower acceleration were developed...

.... The performance monitoring and analysis of these systems provide insights leading to improvements in system design and implementation in order to ensure high quality and robust energy supply in remote locations. Most small solar home systems now use charge controllers using pulse width modulation (PWM...

... level is utilized. From long-term monitoring tests in summer for the PV system, we confirmed that the cooling of the PV modules increases the electric power and that the reuse of hot water from the cooling panel contributes very much for saving energy consumed in a hot-water-supply system. 27 04...

...L. Sanidad; Y. Baghzouz; R. Boehm; E. Hodge A compact stand-alone PV power system was recently designed and built to run an air sampler for environmental monitoring at the Nevada Test Site. This paper presents an overview of the system design and analysis of some of the recorded daily cycles...
