Challenges of Modeling High-Frequency PV
• Numerical models and satellite imagery won’t get high-frequency ramps correctly
• Point measurements do not represent plant-wide aggregate
Stochastic-kinematic cloud model developed to address these issues

Overview of Modeling Approach
Numerical Weather Prediction Model
• Solar irradiance
• Cloud cover fraction
• Cloud-base wind speed, direction
• 10-m wind speed, 2-m temperature (for power conversion)
Stochastic-Kinematic Cloud Model
• Cloud location
• Cloud size
• Cloud opacity
• Cloud overlap and edge effects
• Solar irradiance and power generation

Reality Check: Does Modeled Data Match Observations?
• An exact match with observations is impossible
• Synthesized data should be statistically indistinguishable from real data for parameters of interest
• What are the parameters of interest? – Mean output
– Diurnal, monthly patterns
– Dynamic behavior (spectrum of ramps) as a function of plant size/aggregation
– Correlation between sites
A typical pattern of direct and diffuse horizontal irradiance on Oahu

HECO Station Validation: 2010-2011
• GHI bias (%)
• Small, acceptable low bias: 2%
• Model performs better on western side of Oahu
• Perhaps not fully capturing the impact of mountains?

Summary
• Generated 2 years of 2-second PV output at 80+ hypothetical sites for the Hawaii Solar Integration Study
• Mean diurnal profiles fit well with available high-quality observations
• Ramp distributions agree well with observed
• Future work: – Test model in other climates
– Validate further with utility-scale PV data
Useful tool to estimate ramps at hypothetical (pre- construction) PV sites
New Approach: Mesoscale NWP model + microscale stochastic-kinematic cloud model
