Solar photovoltaics and the associated applications are now considered the most promising technologies for a sustainable future. The performance of the PV power plants is not studied in detail with respect to the influence of various weather parameters like rain, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure on energy generation. The objective of this research work is to analyze and model the weather impact of a utility-scale PV power plant in a tropical region. The methodology involves the detailed analysis of the PV plant performance for various weather seasons and modeling the energy generation based on important weather parameters obtained from a Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) station installed at the PV power plant location itself. Solar generation and its performance are affected during the rainy seasons, and it turns out to be a typical phenomenon in the humid tropical region. A regression model of solar generation for all the weather seasons is generated based on different weather parameters.

热带地区公用事业规模光伏电站的天气影响性能建模

太阳能光伏和相关应用现在被认为是可持续未来最有前途的技术。光伏电站的性能没有详细研究降雨、相对湿度和大气压力等各种天气参数对发电的影响。这项研究工作的目的是分析和模拟热带地区公用事业规模光伏电站的天气影响。该方法涉及对光伏电站在不同天气季节的性能进行详细分析，并根据从安装在光伏电站位置本身的太阳辐射资源评估 (SRRA) 站获得的重要天气参数对发电量进行建模。太阳能发电及其性能在雨季受到影响，事实证明这是潮湿热带地区的典型现象。基于不同的天气参数生成所有天气季节的太阳能发电回归模型。
