Optimal Planning for Utility Generation by Photovoltaic Sources Spread Across Multiple Sites

“…Over the past decade, operational and technoeconomic studies on several installations across the globe [11], [17] have indicated two distinct trends by which large-scale photovoltaic power generation may progressively gain economic viability with time: development of new photovoltaic materials, evolution of new production processes, and economies of volume production [18]; mutually beneficial technoeconomic alliances between manufacturers, customer utilities, and research organizations [19]. However, in practice, several issues complicate the economics of multiunit utility generation.…”
