Abstract
Method for generating soiling profiles for photovoltaic modules of a photovoltaic installation The present invention relates to a method for generating soiling profiles representing possible temporal evolutions of the soiling rate of photovoltaic modules, the method comprising: a phase of obtaining data representing the temporal evolution of the soiling rate of photovoltaic modules over a time interval, a phase of processing historical data comprising the following steps: the division of the time interval into sub-intervals, called soiling seasons, the division of each soiling season into temporal periods, the determination of values for characteristic variables of each temporal period, for at least one soiling season, a phase of random generation of soiling profiles as a function of the characteristic variables of each temporal period of said soiling season.Figure for the abridged version: 2.
