Availability Study of Large Scale Grid Connected Photovoltaic Power Plants in Thailand

Abstract:

This article presents the availability of 4 large scale grid connected photovoltaic (PV) power plants that located in Petchaboon, Nakhon Sawan, and Chai Nat province of Thailand. These power plant size are 4.5 MW and 6.5 MW. In addition, they are constructed with the same platform, component, and commercial operation date (COD) in the same year. The data were collected during 1^st August 2012 to 31^st October 2014. The study result found that availability of these power plant is over 97 % every year except Nakhon Sawan 1 plant in the first year. The internal unavailability trend is quickly reduce while external unavailability is randomly fluctuation.
