摘要:In this research article, the performance metrics (Performance Ratio, Capacity Utilisation Factor and System efficiency) of Grid connected solar plants are defined and significance of each metric is discussed thoroughly. The performance metrics of 120kWp on the rooftop of PG Block and 20kWp on the rooftop of Library block, which are commissioned in CVR College of Engineering are calculated and analyzed for a period of one year. In this research work more emphasise is given to three performance metrics namely Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF), Performance Ratio (PR) and System Efficiency (SE). The calculated results of Performance metrics reveal that performance of both power plants are almost similar to one another in maximum number of months in an year with slight change in their values and for few months their values are much deviated from one another. Exact reasons are investigated for this sort of performance. The calculated values of Performance Metrics of both these plants are well above the solar industry standards and can compete with values of Megawatt scale PV plants.
