Photovoltaic fleet degradation insights

Journal Article Jordan, Dirk C. ; Anderson, Kevin ; Perry, Kirsten ; ... - Progress in Photovoltaics

Abstract In the PV Fleet Performance Data Initiative, high‐frequency data from commercial and utility‐scale photovoltaic (PV) systems have been collected to examine performance loss rates (PLRs) at a fleet scale. To date, performance data from more than 7.2‐gigawatt (GW) capacity, 1700 sites and 19,000 inverters—approximately equivalent to 6% to 7% of the entire US PV market—have been collected. An overall PLR of −0.75%/year was found, which is in line with historical and recent findings. Tracked silicon (Si) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) performed comparably with all fixed‐tilt systems. Higher PLRs were found for hotter temperature zones; cooler climates exhibit a medianmore »« less

Fleet DNA

Dataset Walkowicz, Kevin ; Kelly, Ken ; Duran, Adam

Available online at www.nrel.gov/fleetdna, the Fleet DNA clearinghouse of commercial fleet vehicle operating data helps manufacturers and developers optimize vehicle designs and helps fleet managers choose advanced technologies for their fleets. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, this online tool provides data summaries and visualizations similar to real-world genetics for medium- and heavy-duty commercial fleet vehicles operating in a variety of vocations. If you use Fleet DNA data in a publication, please notify NREL at fleetdna@nrel.gov and include a citation consistent with the following format: “Fleet DNA Project Data.” ([YEAR]).

Fleet Utilization

Dataset Thurston, Sam ; Wells, Landon

A key goal of NextGen Profiles' fleet utilization study was to conduct a comprehensive, strategic, and standardized assessment of the operational behavior and utilization patterns across EV and EVSE production-ready fleets. These data-driven insights were intended to inform current fleet management strategies and support future infrastructure planning, ensuring the effective adoption and adaptation of the growing EV fleet market. The study applied a series of metrics defined in NextGen Profiles to evaluate diverse fleet operations across various use cases, emphasizing trends in charging, routing, and other critical behaviors. The fleet utilization dataset includes these three sets of metrics from 17more »« less
