Determining Storage Reserves for Regulating Solar Variability

This paper describes the initial validation of a method of quantifying PV variability by using satellite-derived solar data. The validation was performed using a network of high-speed solar irradiance data loggers in and around Napa, California. Download PDF...

Modeling PV Fleet Output Variability

This paper introduces a novel approach to estimating the maximum short‐term output variability that an arbitrary fleet of PV systems places on any considered power grid. A clear understanding of variability will make it possible for utilities and control system...
