Systematic photovoltaic system power losses calculation and
In this context, an accurate analysis of power losses for a PV system is of significant importance. Hence, the systematic calculation of the PV system power losses based on recorded
Inverter (DC/AC Conversion) Losses: Result from inefficiencies during DC to AC conversion. Auxiliary Losses: Come from self-consumption by auxiliary equipment. AC Cable Losses (LV): Occur due to resistance in low-voltage cables as current flows from the inverter. TR Losses (LV/MV): Losses caused by transformation from low to medium voltages.
Hence, the inverter power limitation loss is not zero. Since this type of loss was zero for the first PV system, no prediction model was built for that. Moreover, the low irradiance, spectral, and reflection losses are about 1% which is lower compared to the first PV system. MPPT losses are again assumed to be 1.5%.
Important: The breakdown of losses shows absolute loss values (non-cumulative). This table details monthly energy losses throughout the PV system, starting from the initial solar input and tracking reductions at each stage:
This means that the inverter loss depends highly on the characteristics of the inverter itself and different inverters can have different behavior in the same condition. So, the inverter loss prediction model developed for a particular PV system may not be applicable for another one.
