Performance assessment of solar power plant: Case Study in Kemaman Terengganu

Abstract

This research aims to assess the performance of PV solar farm power generation over the 24 months of 2019 and 2020. A case study was based on PV solar farm owned by Epic Solar Sdn Bhd located in Kemaman, Terengganu. It will also compare the estimated power generated with the actual performance. The assessment involves the monthly output power yield for 2019 and 2020. The impact of solar irradiance, rainfall and dust were also highlighted in terms of power production. Lastly, the suggestion for better improvement of the power production was outlined. This baseline is useful as a guideline and reference to improve the PV system performance.
