Operation and Maintenance of solar power plants
Abstract As in any power plant, a solar power plant in operation requires
maintenance. Also, as the solar power plant becomes older, operation and maintenance
(O&M) becomes more and more important for improving or keeping the
performance of the plant.
Another aspect to be taken into account is that usually
the solar power plants are in remote locations with unreliable communication
infrastructure. Most of the remote monitoring systems need an Internet connection,
and in the absence of a reliable connection, there could be problems of lack
of data logging for long periods of time. This makes it very difficult to diagnose
and rectify problems in a timely manner.
The principle of solar power plants is extremely simple. They consist of a field
of solar photovoltaic modules connected them in series or in parallel and connected
to one or more inverters. Energy is directly transformed into electricity
panels and password then in the electric network to the nearest city. Like in any
power plant, a solar power plant in operation requires maintenance. As the solar
power plant becomes older, operation and maintenance (O&M) becomes more
and more important for improving the performance of the plant.
Solar power plant needs to be monitored to detect breakdown and optimize their
operation. Several solar power plants’ monitoring strategies are depending on the
output of the installation and its nature. Monitoring can be performed on site or
remotely.
