PV Reliability Operations and Maintenance (PVROM) database initiative :

Technical Report Klise, Geoffrey Taylor ; Kobos, Peter Holmes ; Hill, Roger Ray ; ...

To fill a major knowledge gap, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) are jointly engaged in a multi-year research effort, supported by the Department of Energys SunShot Program, to examine real-world photovoltaic (PV) plant reliability and performance. Findings and analyses, derived from field data documented in the PV Reliability Operations Maintenance (PVROM) database tool as well as from convened workshops and working group discussions, are intended to inform industry best practices around the optimal operations and maintenance (O&M) of solar PV assets. To improve upon and evolve existing solar PV O&M approaches, this report: 1.more »« less

Precursor Report of Data Needs and Recommended Practices for PV Plant Availability Operations and Maintenance Reporting.

Technical Report Hill, Roger R. ; Klise, Geoffrey Taylor ; Balfour, John R.

Characterizing the factors that affect reliability of a photovoltaic (PV) power plant is an important aspect of optimal asset management. This document describes the many factors that affect operation and maintenance (O&M) of a PV plant, identifies the data necessary to quantify those factors, and describes how data might be used by O&M service providers and others in the PV industry. This document lays out data needs from perspectives of reliability, availability, and key performance indicators and is intended to be a precursor for standardizing terminology and data reporting, which will improve data sharing, analysis, and ultimately PV plant performance.

Solar PV O&M Standards and Best Practices - Existing Gaps and Improvement Efforts

Technical Report Klise, Geoffrey Taylor ; Balfour, John R. ; Keating, T. J.

As greater numbers of photovoltaic (PV) systems are being installed, operations & maintenance (O&M) activities will need to be performed to ensure the PV system is operating as designed over its useful lifetime. To mitigate risks to PV system availability and performance, standardized procedures for O&M activities are needed to ensure high reliability and long-term system bankability. Efforts are just getting underway to address the need for standard O&M procedures as PV gains a larger share of U.S. generation capacity. Due to the existing landscape of how and where PV is installed, including distributed generation from small and medium PVmore »« less

A Best Practice for Developing Availability Guarantee Language in Photovoltaic (PV) O&M Agreements.

Technical Report Klise, Geoffrey Taylor ; Balfour, John

This document outlines the foundation for developing language that can be utilized in an Equipment Availability Guarantee, typically included in an O&M services agreement between a PV system or plant owner and an O&M services provider, or operator. Many of the current PV O&M service agreement Availability Guarantees are based on contracts used for traditional power generation, which create challenges for owners and operators due to the variable nature of grid-tied photovoltaic generating technologies. This report documents language used in early PV availability guarantees and presents best practices and equations that can be used to more openly communicate how themore »« less
