WP1: PV power plants
Digital tools are essential to reduce costs related to planning, construction and operations of photovoltaic (PV) power plants.
Digital tools are essential to reduce costs related to planning, construction and operations of photovoltaic (PV) power plants. With tens of millions of new PV power plants needed to fulfill the REPowerEU Plan, more comprehensive tools than those commercially available today are needed. FME SOLAR will gather a wealth of data related to multiple topics, for instance climate and technology dependent degradation, failure modes for various components, and soiling.This data will be combined in digital twins created for planning, operating, maintaining and forecasting production of PV power plants, bridging the knowledge gap from currently available tools. This will enable faster and more efficient planning, and increased automation of operation for an improved performance and higher profitability of the PV power plant.
