In Gobi Desert, Mongolia, the Photovoltaic Systems Group set up two types of photovoltaic modules and the checking devices (e.g. I-V Curve Tracer, etc.) as well as the meteorological monitoring devices to study the characteristics of the photovoltaic system operation in the severe natural environment, in corporation with National University of Mongolia. Purpose of this study is to verify the output simulation technique for the vary-large-scale photovoltaic system (VLS-PV) to confirm the efficiency of using the large scaled concentrated photovoltaic system to be in this area, and also to clarify the specification requirement for the system design. The latest monitoring results are presented.
