Integrated Performance Diagnosis of a Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Plant
Utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) plants frequently exhibit discrepancies between measured energy production and model-based expectations, leading to uncertainties in performance assessment, operational diagnostics, and financial forecasting.
A 9.8 MWac PV plant in Colombia showed persistent underperformance, reflected in a Performance Ratio (PR) below target and an Energy Performance Index (EPI) systematically different from unity. These deviations may arise from both technical faults and modeling inaccuracies.

Curtailment en Brasil: Una advertencia para Colombia
En 2024, Brasil experimentó un gran episodio de curtailment, o limitación de la energía generada, que ocasionó pérdidas millonarias en el sector de energías renovables: más de 22.000 GWh de energía limpia fueron desperdiciados y las pérdidas económicas superaron los 315 millones de dólares.
