Abstract

This presentation will provide an overview of recent innovations in the Kleissl Solar Resource and Forecasting Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego. In specific the following results will be covered: (i) A solar variability model that can estimate PV power output ramps based on measurements from a single irradiance sensor and cloud speed from numerical weather prediction model. (ii) A cloud speed sensor to estimate power plant ramp rates. (iii) An advanced sky imaging system and algorithms for intrahour solar forecasting. (iv) Numerical weather prediction tools to estimate marine layer clouds day-ahead in California.
