The performance of a grid‐connected photovoltaic (PV) system, under the Surinamese weather conditions, is monitored and reported. A measurement data‐logging system provides inputs for calculation selected standard key indicators (KPI). Calculated KPI's are compared to expected values obtained from modelling using PVSyst software. In addition, results comparable studies also used compare computed KPI's. Using one year data, annual energy yield ( E ac ) totalled 37 MWh. This value 6% higher...
The aim of this paper is to give an overview the energy sector and current status photovoltaic (PV) systems in Suriname investigate which role PV can play country’s future transition. At moment, 64% power available from diesel/heavy fuel oil (HFO) gensets while 36% renewables namely hydroelectric systems. has renewable (RE) targets for 2017 2022 already have been achieved by 36%. However, RE target 2027 47% must be yet. As there abundant irradiance available, on average 1792 kWh/m2/year...
Abstract This paper gives an overview of the status implementation photovoltaic (PV) systems among 34 member countries involved in COST Action PEARL PV year 2018. Besides this, influencing factors that have impact on each country been assessed. The varies European due to differences solar irradiation and weather conditions, electricity consumption, national economic situation, governmental approaches promote PV. For this paper, data sets covering, others, numbers installed systems, variables...
This paper presents the main results of COST Action PEARL PV, aiming at finding connections between observed performance monitored PV systems and degradation causes failure modes according to literature with a focus on most dominant technology among installed modules, namely silicon PV. It is found that there exists great potential for improvements, though in practice it difficult identify exact underperformance.
In 2018, a survey was conducted among 102 citizens in Suriname to evaluate their perception of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Nearly 75% the respondents were aware possibility generating electricity with PV systems and related benefits, while, 25% lacked knowledge about Close 65% are not willing install residential because high investment costs relatively low tariffs by national grid. For sustainability economic savings, 26% system. It could be concluded that despite awareness systems, perceived...
