国际能源署发布光伏电力系统项目(PVPS)第13项任务的技术报告，该报告深入探讨了太阳能光伏系统运营效率的关键性能指标(KPIs)。报告强调了技术KPIs在提高系统效率中的作用，并深入分析了其挑战、应用潜力以及可靠数据管理的最佳实践。报告揭示了行业内数据处理过程缺乏标准化的问题，强调了标准化数据协议对于提高决策质量、简化流程以及提升光伏系统效率、可靠性和盈利能力的重要性。该报告旨在为系统运营商、工程师、政策制定者和研究人员提供可操作的见解，以支持行业向更可持续的能源解决方案过渡。

📊 报告揭示了光伏行业数据管理中缺乏标准化和统一的问题，这阻碍了运营效率的提升。尽管技术KPIs在业内广为人知，但从融资到运营的各个环节，并非所有利益相关者都充分意识到某些决策的细微差别和后果。

⚙️ 报告强调技术KPIs的运营化至关重要，包括如何将合同转化为原始数据的存储方式、数据清洗和插补技术，以及如何计算KPIs并用于后续决策。在开发到建设阶段所做的决策，通常会对资产的整个生命周期产生重大影响。

🌍 报告呼吁全球统一数据管理实践，认为这将对全球光伏运营的可持续性产生深远影响，并显著提高运营透明度、降低成本，以及提高光伏运营的整体盈利能力和可扩展性。

💡 该报告为系统运营商、工程师、政策制定者和研究人员提供了关于KPI测量和数据处理最佳实践的可操作的见解，旨在支持行业向更可持续的能源解决方案转型。

The International Energy Agency (IEA) recently released a technical report from Task 13 of its Photovoltaic Power System Programme (PVPS). Task 13, within the framework of PVPS, aims to support and improve the operation, reliability and quality of solar PV components and systems.The report delves into the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) essential for measuring and improving the operational efficiency of solar PV systems, and highlights the crucial role of technical KPIs, offering deep insights into their challenges, application potentials, and best practices for robust data management.Technical KPIs important for decision-makingAs the PV sector becomes increasingly data-driven, inconsistencies in data management are emerging as a key barrier to operational excellence. While most technical KPIs may be well-known among asset owners, EPCs, O&M providers and consultants, not all stakeholders in the financing-to-operation chain may be aware of the nuances and consequences of certain decisions.These decisions may be based on how technical KPIs are operationalized – which means how they are translated from contracts, to how and where the raw data is stored, to which data cleaning and imputation techniques are used, to how the technical KPIs are calculated and used for subsequent decision-making. Most often, these decisions made in the development-to-construction phase affect the asset for a significant part of its lifetime.Bridging the standardization gapThe report brings to light a pressing industry-wide concern—the lack of standardized and harmonized data handling processes. The study highlights how standardized data protocols can facilitate more informed decision-making, streamline processes, and ultimately enhance the efficiency, reliability, and profitability of PV systems.The report then goes on to focus on bridging the existing standardization gaps. It calls for global harmonization of data management practices, a move that can have far-reaching implications for the sustainability of PV operations worldwide, and have considerable impact on operational transparency, cost reduction, and the overall profitability and scalability of PV operations.Who stands to benefit from the reportThis report can be a vital resource for system operators, engineers, policymakers, and researchers committed to optimizing PV system performance. By providing actionable insights into KPI measurement and data handling best practices, the report aims to support the industry’s transition towards more sustainable energy solutions.
