The National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB), consisting of solar radiation and meteorological data over the United States regions surrounding countries, is a publicly open dataset that has been created disseminated during last 23 years. This paper briefly reviews complete package surface observations, models, satellite used for latest version NSRDB as well improvements in measurement modeling technologies deployed current provides irradiance at 4-km horizontal resolution each 30-min...
As the world looks for low-carbon sources of energy, solar power stands out as single most abundant energy resource on Earth.Harnessing this is challenge century.Photovoltaics, heating and cooling, concentrating (CSP) are primary forms applications using sunlight.These systems use different technologies, collect fractions resource, have siting requirements production capabilities.Reliable information about required every application.This holds true small installations a rooftop well large...
The direct irradiance received on a plane normal to the sun, called (DNI), is of particular relevance concentrated solar technologies, including concentrating thermal plants and photovoltaic systems. Following various standards from International Organization for Standardization (ISO), DNI definition related small solid angle sky, centered position sun. Half-angle apertures pyrheliometers measuring have varied over time, up ≈10°. current recommendation World Meteorological (WMO) this...
Abstract As integration of solar power into the national electric grid rapidly increases, it becomes imperative to improve forecasting this highly variable renewable resource. Thus, a team researchers from public, private, and academic sectors partnered develop assess new system, Sun4Cast. The partnership focused on improving decision-making for utilities independent system operators, ultimately resulting in improved stability cost savings consumers. project followed value chain approach...
Abstract The main purpose of the present study is to assess value synthetic satellite imagery as a tool for model evaluation performance in addition more traditional approaches. For this purpose, GOES-10 at 10.7 μm was produced using output from Advanced Research Weather and Forecasting (ARW-WRF) numerical model. Use unique method indirectly evaluate various microphysical schemes available within ARW-WRF. In study, simulation an atmospheric river event that occurred on 30 December 2005 used....
Abstract The launch of the NASA CloudSat in April 2006 enabled first satellite-based global observation vertically resolved cloud information. However, ’s nonscanning W-band (94 GHz) Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) provides only a nadir cross section, or “curtain,” atmosphere along satellite ground track, precluding full three-dimensional (3D) characterization and thus limiting its utility for certain model verification cloud-process studies. This paper details an algorithm extending limited set...
