A practical guide to improving photovoltaic power plant lifecycle performance and output
Photovoltaic (PV) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure introduces a preventive analytic maintenance for photovoltaic systems engineering, the Repowering(TM) planning approach, as a structured integrated system delivery process. A team of veteran photovoltaics experts delivers a robust discussion of the lessons learned from mature industries--including aerospace, utilities, rail, marine, and automotive--as applied to the photovoltaics industry. The book offers real-world examples of the impact of photovoltaics to all stakeholders during the concept, specification, operations, maintenance, and Repowering(TM) phases.
In each chapter, readers will learn to develop RAMS specifications, data, and tasks while becoming familiar with the inherent benefits of how these affect the cost of design and development, maintenance, spares, and systems operation. The authors also explain when to consider Repowering(TM) and plant upgrades and the considerations from concept through retirement and disposal of the plant.
Readers will also find:
- A thorough introduction to preventive analytic maintenance, including systems engineering, lifecycle planning, risk management, risk assessment, risk reduction, as compared to the historic utility model
- An in-depth treatment of the modern photovoltaic industry, including economic factors and the present endlessly evolving state of technology
- Constructive discussions of systems engineering, including RAMS and SMART engineering practices and solutions
- Extensive explorations of data collection, curation, and analysis for PV systems, including advanced sensor technologies
Perfect for photovoltaic design and specification engineers, photovoltaic plant owners, PV asset managers and all interested stakeholders, Photovoltaic (PV ) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure will also earn a place in the libraries of utilities, engineering, procurements, construction professionals and students.
