This paper presents a high-resolution solar radiation model essential for modern power systems with significant renewable energy integration. Given the unavailability or low temporal resolution of site-specific measurements, the model simulates high-resolution solar irradiation data necessary for planning and analysis. The model employs statistical methods, particularly Beta distributions, to generate realistic one-minute resolution solar irradiation time series, preserving both the probability density and autocorrelation structure of the measured data. Validation shows that the simulated data closely match the statistical properties of the actual measurements, providing a practical tool for scenarios where high-resolution solar data are scarce .
Presented by Josip Vasilj and a distinguished team from the University of Split, this talk will introduce a high-resolution solar irradiation model designed to simulate minute-by-minute solar data. This model is vital for locations where high-frequency solar data is unavailable, providing power system planners and operators with the tools to predict solar energy output accurately and manage grid operations more effectively.
