The abundance of solar energy resources is the primary factor affecting the large-scale development and utilization of solar energy, and it is also one of the most important factors for evaluating the potential of solar energy.
Spatial distribution of resource potential According to the specific topography, environment and resource endowment, the distribution of solar and wind energy at various spatial scales, including province, prefecture-level cities and 1 km × 1 km basic units, are analyzed and characterized under multiple time scales.
The regional distribution of solar energy depends on the meteorological situation characterized by clouds, aerosols, and water vapor content, but also on topography and ground albedo. Within this entry the focus is laid on cloud-induced fluctuations.
As fluctuations in solar radiation are directly coupled to the output power and yield of a grid-connected PV system, for instance, efforts have been taken to measure and characterize the solar resource’s spatial and temporal variability. At first, studies focused on the impact of temporal variations.
The temporal and regional patterns are controlled by temporal and spatial correlation structures. For the analysis of time series characteristics in solar radiation datasets, the quasi-deterministic trend function must be separated from the stochastic fluctuations.
Spatial variability of the solar radiation field may influence the performance of a distributed solar energy system in two ways. The collection of solar energy at different points in space leads to a smoothing of temporal fluctuations in the overall solar energy input and thus in the total power output.
