A stochastic downscaling approach for generating high-frequency solar irradiance scenarios

Development of Regional Climate Scenarios Using a Downscaling Approach

As the debate on potential climate change continues, it is becoming increasingly clear that the main concerns to the general public are the potential impacts of a change in the climate on societal and biophysical systems. In order to address these concerns researchers need realistic, plausible scenarios of climate change suitable for use in impacts analysis. It is the purpose of this paper to p...

High-frequency irradiance fluctuations and geographic smoothing

Using six San Diego solar resource stations, clear-sky indices at 1-sec resolution were computed for one site and for the average of six sites separated by less than 3 km to estimate the smoothing of aggregated power output due to geographic dispersion in a distribution feeder. Ramp rate (RR) analysis was conducted on the 1-sec timeseries, including moving averages to simulate a large PV plant ...

A Neural Network Approach for Generating Solar Irradiation Artificial Series

In this paper a relevant problem in the photovoltaic solar energy eld is considered: the generation of arti cial series of hourly solar irradiation. The proposed methodology arti cially generates series following the average tendency of the hourly radiation series kt in a given place. This is obtained by making use of a set of historical values of this series in such place (for training purpose...
