Abstract WRF-Solar is a specific configuration and augmentation of the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) Model designed for solar energy applications. Recent upgrades to WRF contribute making model appropriate power forecasting comprise 1) developments diagnose internally relevant atmospheric parameters required by industry, 2) improved representation aerosol–radiation feedback, 3) incorporation cloud–aerosol interactions, 4) cloud–radiation feedback. The are presented together with...
Abstract This paper reports on an evaluation of the relative roles choice parameterization scheme and terrain representation in Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model, context a regional wind resource assessment. As first step, 32 configurations using two different schemes for microphysics, cumulus, planetary boundary layer (PBL), or shortwave longwave radiation were evaluated. In second estimates that obtained from various experiments with spatial resolution (1, 3, 9 km)...
Power generation from photovoltaic systems is highly variable due to its dependence on meteorological conditions. An efficient use of this fluctuating energy source requires reliable forecast information for management and operation strategies. Due the strong increase solar power prediction yields becomes more important. As a consequence, in last years various research organisations companies have developed different methods irradiance as basis respective forecasts. For end-users these...
Daily solar radiation estimates of four up‐to‐date models (Solar Analyst, r.sun, SRAD and Solei‐32), based on a digital elevation model (DEM), have been evaluated compared in Mediterranean environment characterized by complex topography. The models' were against 40 days radiometric data collected 14 stations. Analyzed sky conditions ranged from completely overcast to clear skies. Additionally, the role spatial resolution DEM has through use two different resolutions: 20 100 m. Results showed...
Abstract. The daily Level-3 MODIS aerosol optical depth (AOD) product is a global spatial aggregation of the Level-2 AOD (10-km resolution) into regular grid with resolution 1° × 1°. It offers interesting characteristics for surface solar radiation and numerical weather modeling applications. However, most validation efforts so far have focused on products only rarely Level 3. In this contribution, we compare Collection 5.1 dataset from Terra satellite available since 2000 against observed...
The ability of the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model for GCMs (RRTMG) and Goddard shortwave (SW) radiative schemes to reproduce global (GHI), direct (DNI), diffuse (DIF) fluxes at surface in clear‐sky conditions is examined within Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) modeling framework. models were forced using measurements precipitable water aerosol optical properties from five AERONET sites evaluated against high‐quality observations GHI, DNI, DIF four nearby or coincident SURFRAD network one...
Abstract Electricity from wind and, to a lesser extent, solar energy is intermittent and not controllable. Unlike conventional power generation, therefore, this electricity suitable supply base-load electric power. In the future, with greater penetration of these renewable sources, intermittency control problems will become critical. Here, authors explore use canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for analyzing spatiotemporal balancing between regional resources. The CCA allows optimal...
Abstract. Broadband short-wave (SW) surface direct and diffuse irradiances are not typically within the set of output variables produced by numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. However, they frequently requested for solar energy applications. In order to compute them, a detailed representation aerosol optical properties is important. Nonetheless, NWP models oversimplify or even neglect their effect. this work, flexible method account SW in computation broadband presented. It only...
