Performance Analysis and Optimisation   (PP5.4)

PP5.4: Performance Analysis and Optimisation 

Investigators: UNSW – Anna Bruce, Ziv Hamieri, Renate Egan, Martin Green

​

Aim

This activity aims to validate field performance of module technologies and to seek to optimise performance and/or LCOE outcomes. Module performance is application and environment-specific. Measurement, analysis, modelling and simulation of performance in Australian conditions is expected to yield improved performance through better module and system design.

​

Work Plan

​

• Yield and failure analysis for the significant existing resources of deployed solar in Australia using data from behind the meter

• Correlate field experience with device level failure modes such as light-elevated temperature-induced degradation (LeTID)

• Model and assess systems design impacts on performance.
