Abstract
The photovoltaic power generation system (PV system) has been expected as a clean energy source. However, it is supposed that the system reliability is not so high. In this study, the operational performance on large-scale photovoltaic power generation system was evaluated by using 12 systems. The standard rated output of each system was 4kW. As the results of the evaluation analysis, the rate of output deviation of System4 decreased 25% or less, in comparison with estimated output and the operation efficiency was unstable. It was obtained that the decrease of operation efficiency was caused by String3. From the results of inspections of the module, the solar radiation and the power conditioner, there was difference in conversion ratio between a DC-DC converter of a normal string and that of String3. The conversion ratio affected on the output of the string. It was able to find malfunction. Moreover, the regression analysis was investigated by using the output data of the PV system and irradiance. Performance of the PV system was evaluated using the regression coefficient. Stability of the PV system was also investigated using the method of this study.
