Abstract: | Yield forecasting of the commercial design tool PVsyst (v5.6) is compared to the performance measurements of multi crystalline modules in Dietikon, Zurich, during 2011. The total measured horizontal irradiance was 1146 kWh/m2 in 2011. This pyranometer measurement covers 91.5% of the total annual irradiance (determined using IDAWEB data with 100% uptime for Affoltern). The historical irradiance data averaged over decades are about 11.4% (Meteonorm) or 13.6% (PVGIS) lower than the IDAWEB data in 2011. The standard deviation between 2001 and 2011 is about 4.9% with respect to IDAWEB. The measured DC performance ratio (PRDC) is 0.937 with a measurement uncertainty of ±0.031 (k=2). Simulations with manufacturer and optimised parameters showed a deviation to the measurement between 4% and 8%. A second analysis considers shading losses for different shading angles. Calculated losses are about 2% lower than simulated losses with PVsyst using a model of partial shading for a shading angle of 20°. Interesting results could be achieved by determining the loss upon limiting the inverter output power. There is only 4.4% annual loss when the inverter output power is set to a limit of 70 % for the location Dietikon in 2011. |
