Hi all,

How do we obtain long-term energy numbers (from year 1 to the final year) when we have different curtailment percentages and I want final energy output with degradation applied?

Year 1: 2% curtailment

Year 2: 1% curtailment.

Year 3 till the rest of the project: No curtailment

Thank you.

Best Regards

What do you mean by 2% curtailment? That 2% of the DC or AC energy is forgone regardless of when the energy is generated, that the rated DC capacity is 2% above the AC capacity, or something else?
