“…Based on the meteorological and generation data, the 𝑌𝑓, 𝑌𝑟 and 𝑃𝑅 are computed to evaluate the performance of the PV system. It is determined that the PV system operating under the tropical climatic condition achieves 𝑌𝑓 of 4.51 kWh/kWp/day, which is lower than the installation at Morocco with arid climate (1,895 kWh/kWp/year) [53]. Additionally, comparison with performance monitoring data of other installations found that it is higher than Brazil (3.4 kWh/kWp/day) [54] and Mauritania (4.27 kWh/kWp/day) [55], matches with Kuwait (4.5 kWh/kWp/day) [56], and lower than India (4.81 kWh/kWp/day) [57].…”

“…It is dictated by losses in the energy generation process, for instance, due to shading, panel temperature, and inverter efficiency. The high potential of deploying the PV system is justified by the promising monthly 𝑃𝑅 with a strong yearly 𝑃𝑅 of 90.6% which is greater than the installation in Brazil (68%) [54], Mauritania (67.96%) [55] and Morocco (82.2%) [53], and close to that of in India (89.15%) [57].…”

Environmental, energy security and electricity demand concerns stimulate solar-grid integration. However, intermittent, non-dispatchable PV characteristics may challenge passive grid operation. This paper contains the comprehensive planning and assessment of a 2 MWp CdTe-based PV system deployment proposed for hybrid operation in an isolated 11 kV 10-bus microgrid in Brunei. The presented approach combinedly assesses PV system performance and scenario-based interconnection impacts based on a detailed PV system model considering deployment conditions. Various interconnection points with multiple sets of feeder-specific measured load profiles are examined. Results show the PV system designed for maximum annual generation achieves performance ratio of 90.6%. While time-series power flow assessment reveals grid operation enhancement, there are concerns at times of generation-demand mismatch requiring proper genset sequencing and reactive power management. Meanwhile, faster relay operating time and reverse fault current are demonstrated in existing protection scheme. Dynamic grid stabilities are preserved in various generation intermittency and loss events, including the most challenging condition of further inertia and spinning reserve reduction reaching a frequency of 96.02%. Finally, optimal interconnection point fulfilling multiobjectives on losses, voltage profile and line reserve capacity is identified. The findings indicate a good prospect of the synergy for advancing energy transition. The analysis could facilitate RE planning and policymaking.

Summary Long‐term energy production of photovoltaic (PV) systems is predicted and evaluated using a degradation rate analysis. It is one of the most important factors to consider before investing in PV power plants since it indicates the system's dependability and, hence, profitability. This paper examines the degradation rates of three different PV module technologies in a mountain/cold region, over a 5‐year period; including monocrystalline silicon (mono‐Si), polycrystalline silicon (poly‐Si), and amorphous silicon (a‐Si). This study has been performed using different statistical techniques such as classical and seasonal decomposition (CSD), seasonal and trend decomposition using loess (STL), Holt winters (HW), and linear regression (LR). According to the obtained results, a‐Si modules have the highest degradation rate with values varying between 1.12 and 1.17%/year, followed by mono‐Si (0.69–0.98%/year) and poly‐Si (0.11–0.75%/year) technology respectively. This research included an economic analysis to determine the Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of the three investigated systems. The findings show that crystalline technologies (poly‐Si and mono‐Si) are more cost‐effective than a‐Si, with an LCOE of 0.099 USD/kWh, 0.108 USD/kWh, and 0.138 USD/KWh respectively.
