【 摘 要 】

InPerlis, Northern Malaysia, a solar power plant with an energy capacity of 5 MWpbegan selling energy to Tenaga Nasional Berhad in January 2013. Upon obtainingFeed-in Tariff approval from the Sustainable Energy Department Authority ofMalaysia, the power plant will produce energy with a Feed-in Tariff of RM 0.874for every kWh for 21 years according to the Renewable Energy Power PurchaseAgreement. However, the output of solar plants is unpredictable. Investorscommonly estimate the output of solar PV power generation from simulation resultsbased on irradiation data proposed in simulations. However, estimates ofpotential solar generation from simulated analyses may not be accurate and thusexert negative financial impacts to investors. Therefore, comparing estimatedoutput results from simulations with the actual output from solar PV powergeneration is important. The aim of the present study is to identify the errorbetween the simulation and actual performance of solar PV power generation overthe twelve months of 2013. Sensitivity analysis of Feed-in Tariff degressionwas also performed to study the impact the performance error on the economicaspect of energy generation.
