INTRODUCTION The principal task of this installation project was the installation of six meteorological measurement stations at the selected sites including the training of the local staff from EVN (Vietnam Electricity, state-owned utility) on principle maintenance works of the meteorological measurement stations of Type HelioScale ω (Tier 1) and Type HelioScale φ (Tier 2). The selected sites are listed in Table 1, see also Implementation Plan for more details. The first installation mission took place from 22nd of August to 1st of September 2017. During the first installation mission, the Tier 1 stations were installed at the sites VNCEH (Central Highlands), VNTRA (Tri An) and VNHAN (Bac Ninh near Hanoi). All Tier 2 stations (2x Tier 2 stations for sites VNDAN (Da Nang) and VNSOB (Song Binh) plus 1x Tier 2 spare station) were additionally installed at VNCEH for calibration of the RSP sensors for 2 ½ weeks until the second installation mission started. The second installation mission was undertaken from 12th to 19th of September 2017 and the Tier 2 stations at VNDAN and VNSOB were installed. The spare station will be stored at the Head office of VATEC in Nha Trang. The inauguration with the local government, EVN and World Bank representatives was held on 20th of September in Song Binh (VNSOB). The International Experts Joana Zerbin and Marko Schwandt from Suntrace GmbH traveled from Germany / Spain to the sites in Vietnam. Vietnam Applied Technical Co. Ltd (VATEC) as local partner company in this pro- ject supported Suntrace during the installation. Overview of Station Sites Figure 1.

Selected sites for solar measurement stations in Vietnam within the WB ESMAP program This report gives an overview of the ground installation of the Tier 2 station in Da Nang on top of the EVN CPC company building. The installation took place between 13th and 15th of September 2017. The site code for this site is VNDAN. Tier 2 stations are designed to be very robust and less sensitive to cleaning, as a Rotating Shadowband Irradi- ometer (RSI) measures GHI, DHI and DNI. In order to reach high quality data, the Tier 2 stations are equipped with a thermopile pyranometer, which complies with Secondary Standard requirements – highest quality Level of ISO 9060 (1990). Besides, a barometer measures atmospheric pressure and a thermo-hygro sensor measures air temperature and relative humidity. Furthermore, a plug-and-play blueberry COMPACT data-logging system controls, stores and transmits the measured data of the stations. For power supply of the Tier 2 stations, a solar panel, batteries and charge controllers are installed. Additionally, a wind mast with a cup anemometer assembly ensures measuring accurate wind speed. A soiling measurement system and a corrosion measurement kit were installed as additional equipment. INSTALLATION REPORT VNDAN - VIETNAM (SELECTION #: 1231900) 2 2. LOCATION DA NANG – VNDAN Figure 2.

INTRODUCTION The principal task of this installation project was the installation of six meteorological measurement stations at the selected sites including the training of the local staff from EVN (Vietnam Electricity, state-owned utility) on principle maintenance works of the meteorological measurement stations of Type HelioScale ω (Tier 1) and Type HelioScale φ (Tier 2). The selected sites are listed in Table 1, see also Implementation Plan for more details. The first installation mission took place from 22nd of August to 1st of September 2017. During the first installation mission, the Tier 1 stations were installed at the sites VNCEH (Central Highlands), VNTRA (Tri An) and VNHAN (Bac Ninh near Hanoi). All Tier 2 stations (2x Tier 2 stations for sites VNDAN (Da Nang) and VNSOB (Song Binh) plus 1x Tier 2 spare station) were additionally installed at VNCEH for calibration of the RSP sensors for 2 ½ weeks until the second installation mission started. The second installation mission was undertaken from 12th to 19th of September 2017 and the Tier 2 stations at VNDAN and VNSOB were installed. The spare station will be stored at the Head office of VATEC in Nha Trang. The inauguration with the local government, EVN and World Bank representatives was held on 20th of September in Song Binh (VNSOB). The International Experts Joana Zerbin and Marko Schwandt from Suntrace GmbH traveled from Germany / Spain to the sites in Vietnam. Vietnam Applied Technical Co.

Selected sites for solar measurement stations in Vietnam within the WB ESMAP program This report gives an overview of the on-site installation of the Tier 2 station near Song Binh, on a private house rooftop. The installation took place between 17th and 19th of September 2017. The site code for this site is VNSOB. Tier 2 stations are designed to be very robust and less sensitive to cleaning, as a Rotating Shadowband Irradi- ometer (RSI) measures GHI, DHI and DNI. In order to reach high quality data, the Tier 2 stations are equipped with a thermopile pyranometer, which complies with Secondary Standard requirements – highest quality Level of ISO 9060 (1990). Besides, a pluviometer measures rain precipitation, a barometer measures atmospheric pres- sure and a thermo-hygro sensor measures air temperature and relative humidity. Furthermore, a plug-and-play blueberry COMPACT data-logging system controls, stores and transmits the measured data of the stations. For power supply of the Tier 2 stations, a solar panel, batteries and charge controllers are installed. Additionally, a wind mast with a cup anemometer and a wind vane assembly ensures measuring accurate wind speed and direc- tion. A soiling measurement system and a corrosion measurement kit were installed as additional equipment. INSTALLATION REPORT VNSOB - VIETNAM (SELECTION #: 1231900) 2 2.

Additional information: • The Reichert RSP4G (RSI), which is installed, is known to be a precise and robust instrument. Contrary to pyrheliometers, which are used in Tier 1 stations and require daily cleaning to reach its outstanding ac- curacy, it is sufficient to clean such RSI on a weekly basis. • The Hukseflux SR20 is used in the RSI, which is equipped with dome heating system to reduce the influ- ence of dew, but is not ventilated • For Tier 2 stations, a 60 Wp photovoltaic panel, batteries and a charge controller are installed. • As the roof of the private house near Song Binh is 4 m high, the wind mast was installed at a height of 6 m above rooftop. • Signal deviations of the RSP sensor of the Tier 2 station for VNSOB were noticed during calibration. It was decided to replace it and re-checked.

INTRODUCTION The principal task of this installation project was the installation of six meteorological measurement stations at the selected sites including the training of the local staff from EVN (Vietnam Electricity, state-owned utility) on principle maintenance works of the meteorological measurement stations of Type HelioScale ω (Tier 1) and Type HelioScale φ (Tier 2). The selected sites are listed in Table 1, see also Implementation Plan for more details. The first installation mission took place from 22nd of August to 1st of September 2017. During the first installation mission, the Tier 1 stations were installed at the sites VNCEH (Central Highlands), VNTRA (Tri An) and VNHAN (Bac Ninh near Hanoi). All Tier 2 stations (2x Tier 2 stations for sites VNDAN (Da Nang) and VNSOB (Song Binh) plus 1x Tier 2 spare station) were additionally installed at VNCEH for calibration of the RSP sensors for 2 ½ weeks until the second installation mission started. The second installation mission was undertaken from 12th to 19th of September 2017 and the Tier 2 stations at VNDAN and VNSOB were installed. The spare station will be stored at the Head office of VATEC in Nha Trang. The inauguration with the local government, EVN and World Bank representatives was held on 20th of September in Song Binh (VNSOB). The International Experts Joana Zerbin and Marko Schwandt from Suntrace GmbH traveled from Germany / Spain to the sites in Vietnam. Vietnam Applied Technical Co. Ltd (VATEC) as local partner company in this pro- ject supported Suntrace during the installation. Overview of Station Sites Figure 1.

Selected sites for solar measurement stations in Vietnam within the WB ESMAP program This report gives an overview of the on-site installation of the Tier 1 station in Tri An region, near Ho Chi Minh City, on top of an EVN building close to the Tri An dam near the water spillway. The installation took place be- tween 28th and 29th of August 2017. The site code for this site is VNTRA. Tier 1 stations are equipped with a robust and highly reliable pyrheliometer, a shaded pyranometer (which measures DHI), a non-shaded pyranometer (which measures GHI), and a 2-axis sun tracker with a shadow-ball assembly. Besides, a barometer measures atmospheric pressure and a thermo-hygro sensor measures air tem- perature and relative humidity. Additionally, a wind mast with a cup anemometer and a wind vane assembly ensures measuring accurate wind speed and direction. Furthermore, a plug-and-play blueberry COMPACT data- logging system controls, stores and transmits the measured data of the stations. For power supply of the Tier 1 stations, a solar panel, batteries and charge controllers are installed. At this site, a soiling measurement system and a corrosion measurement kit are also installed.
