Renewable energy targets
The targets have evolved consistently since first established to help the EU reach its ambitious energy and climate goals.
This chapter provides the rationale behind photovoltaic (PV) system monitoring, its purpose, the necessity of proper measuring, and the frequency required to produce meaningful results. The need for system monitoring comprises three groups: user feedback, performance verification, and system evaluation.
PV system monitoring also makes it possible to compare power output from PV system with billing information. Even if the PV monitoring system is not checked regularly, it will send an alert whenever there is a predefined event that requires owner's concern. Monitoring for PV can be utilized at two levels which are, panel level and system level.
However, in most of the cases reported and discussed in the literature, floating photovoltaic systems do not currently have any type of monitoring system installed that could allow us to actually evaluate possible negative (or positive) effects on the environment, which makes the discussion rather undefined [54, 55].
The cost and complexity of existing PV monitoring systems restricts their use to large scale PV plants. Over the past decade, different aspects of PV monitoring systems were reported in wide range of literature. In this paper, a comprehensive review of various PV monitoring systems is presented for the first time.
The targets have evolved consistently since first established to help the EU reach its ambitious energy and climate goals.
