PV Performance Benchmarking in India. Results from the Project 'Solar Mapping and Monitoring - SolMap'

摘要

Within the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), India has installed a total of 2.2 GWp PV capacity as of January 2014. The German GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) supports the Indian Ministry for New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) with the implementation of a countrywide PV Performance Benchmarking scheme, which presently includes 119 PV Power stations out of 12 Indian states with a total of 518 MWp of installed capacity. This paper describes the approach for a structured monitoring, evaluation and feedback scheme for countrywide PV installations, gives some results of the present performance analysis and also provides an outlook for further objectives to be achieved.
