1. PERFORMANCE RATIO

1.1 DEFININITION OF PERFORMANCE RATIO (PR)

With reference to the CEI EN 61724 Standard (or IEC standard 61724), the Performance
Ratio of a PV Plant is used to define the overall system performance with respect to the
energy production, solar resources and overall effect of system losses.

According to the above mentioned Standard, the Performance ratio of a PV plant is
defined:

r
f
Y
Y
PR [kWh / kW
p
] (1)
where:

n
f
P
E
Y [kWh / kW
p
] (2)

is the final PV system yield and indicates the net energy output produced by the PV arrays
divided by the nameplate DC power of the installed system.
It is also intended as the number of hours that the PV plant would need to operate at its
rated power to provide the same energy.

In details the above (1) and (2) are:
Y
f
= Equivalent hours (kWh/kWp)
E = Energy output of the PV system measured as AC output at the inverter (kWh)
P
n
= total PV system power [kW
p
] as per sum of the total flash list power; flash list power
are evaluated at standard test condition STC (I = 1000 W/mq; , Tamb=20C,
A.M.=1,5);

and

STC
m
r
G
H
Y [(kWh/m
2
) / (kW/m
2
)] (3)

is the reference yield intended as the total in-plane irradiance divided by the reference
irradiance G at STC conditions. It represents an equivalent number of hours at the
reference irradiance G = 1kW/m and defines the solar radiation source being a function of
the location, orientation of the PV array and year-to-year weather variability;

Y
r
= equivalent hours in standard conditions STC;
H
m
= total in-plane irradiance (kWh/m) measured with a calibrated in-plane reference cell
(irradiance sensor) as per datasheet ;
G

= 1 kW/m, reference solar radiation in standard conditions STC;

For (1), (2) and (3), the Performance Ratio will be:

The PR is affected by the overall losses due to:
Module temperature;
Module efficiency;
Mismatch;
Shading;
DC and AC losses;
Inverter losses;
Soiling phenomena due to shading or scattering of energy by presence
of dirt, snow or other debris on the PV modules surface;
System down-time;
Overall system degradation;
Cable damages caused by rodents;

where

P = module nominal power (W) as per datasheet
A

On the basis of (4) and the above module efficiency ,the PR can be calculated as:

m

where:
E = Energy output of the PV system measured as AC output at the inverter (kWh)

The values of E and G

With [ = (365-n)/365] is a corrective factor that indicates the effective number of

In case of PV plants divided in sub-plants, the Plant PR shall be calculated as the average
of the yearly PR of each sub-plant:

where k= number of sub-plants.

Using the formula (5), the plant PR will be evaluated for each months and the overall yearly PR is
calculated as the average yearly Performance ratio.

NOTE: in case the first months is not January, than the global yearly PR will be calculated
on a 12-months basis with the current months as first months.
