Civilian Four Seasons Solar Power Generation

What information is available for PV power generation forecasting?

The information available for PV power generation forecasting for time t includes five weather observation features (x t o b s), five forecast weather features (x t f c s t), five time-related features (x t t i m e), and three solar geometry features (x t g m t).

What is the best weather for solar energy generation?

The ideal weather for solar energy generation is cold, sunny and windy. The Sun provides the energy for the panel and the cold air surrounding the panels keep it cool along with the cooling effect of the wind on the panels, removing any excess heat generated by the instrument itself.

Do seasonal factors cause inefficiency in power generation?

Although the SSF for Plant E exhibited the largest value (0.615) in December 2019, it was zero in August 2016, May 2017, August 2018, May 2019, and August 2020, which indicates that seasonal factors do not cause any inefficiency in power generation in these five months. Similar trends were observed for other plants.

Why do solar systems need alternative generation sources?

Scientific Reports 12, Article number: 1363 (2022) Cite this article The inherent intermittency of solar power due to diurnal and seasonal cycles has usually resulted in the need for alternative generation sources thereby increasing system operation costs.

Does number of PV modules affect power generation efficiency?

This study considers the number of modules as an input factor for evaluating the impact of electricity generation per module (i.e., quality of the module) on the power generation efficiency. PV array rated capacity (M W): This is defined as the product of the number of modules and their average generation output.

What are the timescales for solar power aggregation?

Timescales (durations) considered are mainly minutes 16, 19, 20, 21, hours 14, 17, 18, 26, months 23 and years 15, 24, 25. Furthermore, the geographical scale for solar power aggregation varies with plant/site 16, 19, 20, 21, 27, to state 15, 18, 23, 24, 26 and to sub-region 14, 25 but with a limited number of PV sites/stations.
