  • Abstract
    ISFOC has completed the installation and acceptance of the first MW, so it is the moment for beginning with the operation and maintenance of the plants. In this paper, ISFOC will give the results of the demonstration plants. First of all we make the comparison between the production of CPV and PV systems in Puertollano. A performance study of the production is also presented to show if there is degradation after two years of operation. At the same time we have carried out the analysis of Operation and Maintenance issues, showing the possible solutions for some of the problems. Finally, a detailed study of the module condensation in the demonstration plant is also presented.
