A successful maintenance program seeks to minimize failures, maximize production uptime, and reduce production loss through timely interventions. Once a maintenance strategy is determined, the focus shifts to scheduling, presenting an optimization challenge to ensure continuous and reliable operation of the PV system.
Therefore, maintenance management is essential for reliable and effective operation of PV power plants, ensuring uninterrupted system operation and minimizing downtime. Compared to well-established technologies such as hydro, thermal, and wind, the O&M processes for PV systems are not yet fully structured in many operating companies .
In literature, three general maintenance strategies for solar PV systems are mentioned: corrective, preventive, and predictive maintenance. Fig. 8 shows the evolution of maintenance strategies over time, along with examples of maintenance activities for PV systems. Fig. 8. Evolution of maintenance strategies.
Let’s look at the key aspects: Includes planned and periodic tasks to maintain equipment integrity. Cleaning of solar panels. It is carried out to repair breakdowns or unforeseen damage.
The expansion of photovoltaic systems emphasizes the crucial requirement for effective operations and maintenance, drawing insights from advanced maintenance approaches evident in the wind industry. This review systematically explores the existing literature on the management of photovoltaic operation and maintenance.
However, following this approach often leads to unexpected failures, production losses, higher costs, and compromised power quality . Consistent management and maintenance of large-scale solar power plants are crucial to ensure grid stability, which goes beyond individual solar arrays.
