Unlike conventional electrical power generation (such as fossil or
nuclear energy), solar energy is intermittent. The output of a
solar power plant is driven by weather and by the cycle of days and
seasons. It varies from zero to full power outside the control of
plant Operators. Spatial and Temporal Variability of Solar Energy
Summarizes and analyzes recent research by the authors and others
to understand, characterize, and model solar resource variability.
This research shows that understanding solar energy variability
requires a definition of the temporal and spatial context for which
variability is assessed; and describes a predictable, quantifiable
variability- smoothing space-time continuum from a single point to
thousands of kilometres and from seconds to days. It also discusses
the implications for solar penetration on the power grid and
variability mitigation strategies.
