Technical papers, presentations & posters.
A selection of our own analyses, conference contributions and technical publications. The archive documents the development of technical questions and methods over many years.
The publications are grouped by topic and ordered chronologically within each group. Older publications remain intentionally visible: they document our technical track record and the development of our methodology.
Technical article on key quality criteria for robust yield assessments and the need for a transparent, standardised methodology.
External publication — the full article is not provided here as a local download.
Site, weather data, system model, losses, uncertainties and presentation of results as an integrated quality framework for yield assessments.
Influence of site-specific wind conditions on module temperature, temperature losses and the accuracy of yield simulations.
Dependence of PR on weather and environmental conditions, and requirements for robust comparison of measurement and forecast.
Comparison of measured data and different PVsyst approaches for realistic representation of shading.
Analysis of the variation in simulation results depending on data basis, modelling and software settings.
On the relevance of low-light behaviour for yield simulations and the quality of technical manufacturer data.
Comparison of irradiance data sources with respect to recency, measurement period, methodology and site-dependent data quality.
English-language technical paper on the importance of part-load and low-light characteristics for robust PV yield forecasts.
Cost-benefit analyses and detailed simulations of mismatch, shading and possible optimisation potential in existing large-scale plants.
System analysis and practical examples for optimising module orientation, DC voltage level and string configuration.
Analysis of actual clipping losses, time resolution and the influence of system concept and power factor.
Project examples from Jordan, Egypt, Mauritania and the United Arab Emirates with specific technical and climatic conditions.
The archive presents a selection. Further technical papers can be added as required.
