Researchers are seeking to understand the extent to which sudden spikes in irradiance can affect solar power plants. The preliminary findings indicate large scale PV projects are not immune to such events, especially when the spikes last longer than a minute.Sudden spikes in irradiance can affect the components of large scale PV power plants, especially if they last longer than a minute and occur in temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius. That is the main conclusion of a preliminary study into the effects of such "over-irradiance' events on PV power generation. Researchers from the U.S.-based ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
