Task 6 officially completed its activities in May 1998. The main objective of this Task was to further develop large-scale modular photovoltaic plants for peaking and long-term baseload power generation in connection with the medium-voltage grid. The Task 6 work was performed by structural engineers and PV industry experts. Its deliverables were associated in four categories:
- Review of design and construction epxeriences of large-scale PV plants
- Review of operational experiences in large-scale PV plants
The outcomes of these two subtasks were summarized in an internal publication conctaining the organized information collected through questionnaires; the final data elaboration was reported in a document entitled A guidebook for practical design or large scale power genration plant.
- Development of improved system design and operational strategies for large-scale PV plants
The reports produced under this subtask were used as an input for the workshop Design and Operation of Large-Scale PV plants. Experience and Perspectives, that was held in Madrid, December 1997 and concluded the task activities.
- Outlook of perspectives of large scale PV plants
Two publications represent the outcomes of this subtask: the book Review of Medium to Large Scale Modular PV plants Worldwide, published in November 1997, and the Proceedings of the Workshop published in May 1998.
