Advanced Measurement and Modeling for PV System Performance and Grid Integration
As photovoltaic (PV) installations rapidly expand worldwide, precise modeling and accurate measurement of system performance become critical to ensuring maximum energy yield, robust grid integration, and predictable financial returns. At the 2025 PV Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) Workshop, industry leaders will gather to address key challenges and advancements in performance modeling, hybrid energy systems, and yield validation.
Gantner Instruments proudly contributes technical expertise in precision measurement and data acquisition, enabling developers, operators, and grid managers to achieve higher confidence in PV system performance and grid stability.
Session Highlights Featuring Gantner Instruments
Hybrid Systems and Grid Integration
(Session 1 – Chair: Juergen Sutterlueti)
Combining PV with complementary generation technologies or ancillary grid services significantly enhances system stability and economic efficiency – despite curtailment. In this session, chaired by Juergen Sutterlueti from Gantner Instruments, industry experts will explore sophisticated modeling approaches and practical strategies for integrating PV systems effectively with wind power, energy storage, and grid services.
Discussions will address:
- Comparative modeling of PV and wind variability across different temporal scales.
- Dynamic curtailment of PV to provide essential ancillary grid support.
- Techno-economic analyses for integrating large-scale solar and storage assets into existing grids.
This session provides actionable insights for utilities, grid planners, and system integrators aiming for optimized hybrid energy solutions.
Expected vs. Measured: Yield Assessment for Utility-Scale PV
(Session 6 – Speaker: Juergen Sutterlueti)
Accurate energy yield assessment is essential for verifying asset performance and financial models of large-scale PV plants. Juergen Sutterlueti from Gantner Instruments will present industrial proven and practical approaches for comparing expected (modeled) versus actual (measured) yields.
Attendees will learn to:
- Identify and quantify sources of performance deviation.
- Leverage high-precision data acquisition techniques to enhance model accuracy.
- Develop actionable strategies for performance optimization based on real-world measurement data.
This presentation is critical for asset managers, performance analysts, and O&M specialists seeking robust validation methods to maximize plant reliability and profitability.
