Abstract
Evaluating the capacity value of solar PV plants can pose significant challenges due to their dependence on geographic and climatic conditions, which are highly variable and uncertain. Also, the way the data are recorded gives a significant variation in capacity value estimates. In this dissertation, different capacity value metrics are reviewed, several case studies are summarized and capacity value using the Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) metric is estimated for 100 MW PV plants located across North America. ELCC estimates using hourly and minute-based solar data are compared, ELCCs are computed after shifting the load data ahead and behind by one hour to account for the sloppiness in reporting load data, and ELCC estimates using modeled and measured solar data are compared.
