Description

A practical guide to improving photovoltaic power plant lifecycle performance and output.

Photovoltaic (PV) System Delivery as Reliable Energy Infrastructure introduces Preemptive Analytical Maintenance (PAM) for photovoltaic systems engineering and the Repowering™ planning approach, as a structured integrated system delivery process. A team of veteran photovoltaics professionals discusses lessons learned from mature industries—including PV, aerospace, utilities, rail, marine, and automotive—and applies them to the photovoltaic industry. The book offers real-world “technical and fiscal” examples of the impact of photovoltaics on all stakeholders during the concept, specification, operations, maintenance, and Repowering™ phases.

In each chapter, readers learn to develop RAMS specifications, reliability data collection, 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 explain when and how to consider and implement Repowering™, plant upgrades and the considerations from concept through to retirement and disposal of the plant.

Readers will also find:

A thorough introduction to Preemptive Analytical Maintenance (PAM), including systems engineering, lifecycle planning, risk management, risk assessment, and risk reduction, compared to historic utility models.
An in-depth treatment of the modern photovoltaic industry, including economic factors and the present endlessly evolving state of technology.
Constructive discussions and applications of systems engineering, including RAMS and System Engineering practices and solutions.
Extensive explorations and applications of data collection, curation, and analysis for PV systems, including advanced sensor technologies.

Perfect for new to experienced photovoltaic design and specification engineers, photovoltaic plant owners, operators, 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, procurement, construction professionals, and students.

About the Author

John R. Balfour, BS, MEP, PhD, System Conformity Assessment & Resource Expert in the PV Sector of the US National Committee of the IECRE, President High Performance PV. Invested four decades in advancing delivery of more reliable, higher performing infrastructure grade PV/Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to produce greater lifecycle asset value, operational resilience, and cash flow. This work helped bring improvements in system specification, design, construction, and O&M by redefining PV Repowering™ a system engineering (SE)/planning process delivering decades of system Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS), risk prevention, reduction, plant and energy optimization strategies.

Russell W. Morris, BSEE, MSSE, SM-IEEE, M-INCOSE, is a Retired Technical Fellow in RAM/SE Engineering consultant with over 35 years’ experience in the field of medical, aerospace, and solar power reliability and maintainability and 15 years as an engineer and technician. Responsible for Proposals, Design Analysis, Modeling, Assessment, Allocations and Root Cause Analysis for Reliability, Availability and Maintainability requirements for systems/subsystems such as flight controls, hydraulics, hydrodynamic power generation, PV systems and Solar Arrays, vehicle management systems, navigation, communications, structures, software, one-shot systems, and propulsion systems. He has addressed professionals and students at the University of Texas, AIAA, IEEE PVSC, IEEE IRPS, IEEE ISSRE, ARS and several symposia and Universities in the U.S. and China. He has also taught RAM topics for Boeing suppliers in Italy, England, India, Australia, and multiple sites within the United States.
