The 2021 PV Performance Modeling and Monitoring Workshop to be held Oct. 19-20, 2021, in Salt Lake City, UT, is currently soliciting proposals from the photovoltaics community. Interested parties are encouraged to submit a short abstract on topics such as:
- Solar resource assessment updates (led by GroundWork Renewables)
- Module performance characterization (updates from test labs, IEs, etc.) (led by CFV Labs)
- PV performance model updates including open-source (updates from model developers)
- PV performance model and sub-model validation studies
- Advances in monitoring technology and analysis (fault detection, classification, predictive O&M)
- Bifacial modeling updates
- Smart tracking algorithms
Abstracts are due Aug. 1, 2021.
Sandia National Laboratories, GroundWork Renewables and CFV Labs will co-sponsor the two-day workshop, examining the technical challenges and opportunities related to PV module and systems modeling. This year, the event will feature a single track covering topics such as solar resource assessment, module characterization, PV performance modeling, advanced performance monitoring, and fault detection, among others.
