System availability chart

System availability is the percentage of a system that is available over a period of time. It is an indicator of how quickly faults are identified and remedied.

• Energy sum at system level: Defined as the term E_Z_EVU

• Irradiance data from a sensor: Defined as the term G_M0 or satellite data

• Default threshold value is greater than 100W/m²

Standard formula and calculation

The following system availability formula is used by default:

• Within the measurement interval, the entire plant is either available (100%) or not available (0%). If the energy is not equal to 0 within an interval, the availability is 100%.

• System availability is only calculated during intervals where irradiance is greater than 100 W/m².

• Intervals in which energy data is missing are treated as if the system is available.

• Only data for completed days is displayed.

Note

The standard formula is displayed for basic partners. The VCOM module KPI editor for PR and system availabilityallows you to adapt the input parameters to your needs.
