Consider a solar PV plant with the following specific conditions: Analysis period: 1 year Measured average solar irradiation intensity in 1 year: 150 kWh/m² Generator area of the PV plant: 10 m² Efficiency factor of the PV modules: 15% Electrical energy actually exported by plant to grid: 135 kWh Calculate the performance ratio.
A remote terminal unit (RTU) is a microprocessor-controlled electronic device that interfaces objects in the physical world to a distributed control system or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system by transmitting telemetry data to a master system and by using messages from the master supervisory. This is accomplished by transmitting telemetry data to the system and/or changing the physical state of connected objects based on control messages received from the automation system. It is used to interface field devices with SCADA. RTUs can support multiple communication protocols at the same time. A limited number of input and output devices can be added to it.
The capacity factor is the ratio of an actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the maximum possible electrical energy output over that period. Nuclear power plants are at the high end of the range of capacity factors
Value of power factor is varies from 0 to 1. R→PF = 1 L→PF = 0 lag C→PF = 0 lead R-L→0 lag < PF < 1 R-C→0 lead < PF < 1 R-C-L→depends on value of R, L and C. PF = R/Z
