    As penetration rates of utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) increases, large PV plants will participate in the daily wholesale electricity market in the same way that wind farms. Then, PV plant owner can receive some kind of economic penalty depending on the forecast deviation. This opens the way to use a battery energy storage system (BESS) to compensate the prediction errors. Taking advance of the several 1-hour intra-diary market sessions, the PV plant owner can correct the prediction for the next hours. Hence, a 1-hour BESS SOC control can be implemented to avoid large energy requirements. Here we present two novel strategies which allow a large PV-BESS plant to fulfil the programme referred.

    On the calculation of the STC power of PV generators by using typical monitoring system data

    The properly in-field characterization of the power at Standard Test Conditions, PSTC, of PV generators is becoming increasingly important in order to evaluate their performance and its evolution in time. Within the state of art, the PSTC characterization procedures of PV arrays are mainly based on I-V curve measurements or PDC measurements performed by precision wattmeters. Those characterizations are usually carried out during discrete measurement campaigns, which does not allow a continuous tracking of the PSTC evolution. In this paper a new PSTC characterization procedure is proposed which is based on the DC power measurements performed by the own PV inverters connected to the PV arrays. This procedure enables an automatic and continuous calculation of the PSTC, which allows to observe its evolution and to detect possible anomalous trends, premature degradations, etc. The procedure has been validated in several PV generators of the large-scale Amareleja PV Plant (45.6 MWp). As showed in this paper, by using several day data and applying the adequate filters, a high accuracy in the PSTC calculation can be achieved, a similar accuracy to that obtained by using precision wattmeter measurements.
