Estimating Subhourly Clipping Losses of Inverter and Plant From Performance Ratio Trends

ABSTRACT Most photovoltaic system production simulations are conventionally run using hourly weather datasets of satellite. Hourly simulations are sufficiently accurate to predict the majority of long-term system behaviour but cannot resolve high-frequency effects like inverter clipping caused by short-duration irradiance variability. Direct modelling of this sub hourly clipping error is only possible for the few […]

Crash in Lithium Prices: A Boon for EV Buyers or Unsustainable Trend?

Prices of the so-called ‘White Gold’ has been declining for the past few months. Lithium is a common ingredient in almost all electric-car batteries we use today. The drop in commodity prices has made it easier for carmakers to cut prices for electric vehicles. For instance, last month, Tesla lowered the prices of its two […]
