Abstract :
The reliability of a standalone solar power plant is an important objective to deliver economical and quality power for any customer. The unreliable solar power has major socio-economic impact on utility and its customers. Weibull distribution function is used to analyse the time series solar data obtained from the weather stations. The nonlinear behaviour of solar irradiance has major impact on the performance and reliability of a solar power plant. Statistical data of solar energy resources under Indian conditions are simulated using system advisor model and reliability analytics tool kit for reliability analysis. In this paper, a study assessing the impact of the solar irradiance and losses on power generation is presented.

Key-Words / Index Term :
