Reference component

Reference system example

The reference component model assumes that only a part of the PV system, such as an inverter, is disrupted, and uses the data from a nearby component to calculate the loss. The calculation uses a reference component and a defined period to determine the difference between the energy generated by the reference inverter and the energy actually generated. The normalizing factors of the inverters are used for this. This method is not suitable for calculating the loss of income due to curtailment by the grid operator or energy trader.
