The increasing penetration of grid-connected solar photovoltaics has challenged the existing method of planning and operating the distribution grid. Electric utilities require visibility into the PV installations within their territories and are interested in knowing...

We investigate whether photovoltaics (PV) can effectively and economically contribute to a massively renewable energy (RE) power generation future for Switzerland. Taking advantage of the country’s flexible hydropower resources, we determine the optimum PV/battery...

Small-scale variabilities of solar irradiance are important for many applications. Downscaling approaches need to be developed where only the averaged state of solar irradiance is known. In this study, we investigate the use of copula for temporally downscaling GHI...

Satellite-derived solar irradiance data are known to underestimate temporal variability compared to point measurements because of their pixel-averaging nature. In this study, we apply an algorithm imposing random noise to enhance the temporal variability of 5-minute...
