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.
