Análisis del funcionamiento de distintas tecnologías fotovoltaicas en varios enclaves de Perú

Abstract

This PhD Thesis aims to make a contribution to the characterization of the performance and estimation of the degradation of photovoltaic technologies located in low latitude countries. This main goal will be achieved through the attainment of two specific objectives. The first one has consisted of determining the values of production indexes (reference, PV array energy and final yield) as well as performance metrics (performance ratio and DC performance ratio) in four grid-connected photovoltaic systems case studies located in three Peruvian cities considering monthly and annual time scales. The second objective consisted of estimating the values of the annual degradation rate experienced by the technologies analyzed in two of the four case studies referred to in the previous point.
