Title: Performance Indicators for Assessing Solar Photovoltaic Microgrids in Grid-Connected Mode
Abstract: In India, Solar photovoltaic microgrids have become a sustainable energy solution, particularly in remote areas where grid is still unreliable. However, they have stamped their own mark in towns and cities too. Performance assessment of such microgrids is an important aspect in increasing the penetration of PV into grid. In this paper, three different perspectives of assessing the performance of a solar photovoltaic microgrid have been defined. Performance of a 40 kWp SPV microgrid has been investigated for various indicators such as performance ratio, capacity factor, self-consumption, self-sufficiency, and grid interaction. Results obtained indicated that self-consumption in this study is higher than other studies reviewed. This paper focuses on presenting a pool of indicators for better performance assessment of SPV microgrids, particularly in grid-connected mode.
