摘要
Currently, the know-how and experience concerning the behavior and reliability of large tracking photovoltaic (PV) plants is scarce. Information such as the availability rate is rarely known. Acciona Solar PV plants installed in Navarra (Spain) in the frame of the Spanish utility grid constitute a representative source of information. The scope of this study is to analyze in detail the behavior along 2006 of six of these plants, located in Arguedas (two plants of a rated nominal power of 940 k Wp and 2.1 MWp, respectively), Sesma (1.12 MWp), Cintruenigo, (1.44 MWp), Rada (1.78 MWp), and Castejon (2.64 MWp). In our analysis, the influence of each type of energy loss affecting the plants has been quantified; and the advantages of dedicating human resources to the surveillance and maintanance of a limited number of generators have been stated. Thanks to the work of the operators, the plants registered mean availability rates above 99.7%. Copyright (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
