Project Description - Motivation
• PV output data for any location in SW US, 10 minute time step are required to assess the grid environment under high penetrations of wind, CSP, PV
• Solar measured PV data is spatially sparse but temporally dense
• Satellite (modeled) PV data is spatially dense but temporally sparse
• New measurement stations are needed, but they must be sited effectively, and data must be assimilated into applications
• There is no current research using geostatistics and atmospheric science on PV modeling

Project Description
• Mapping Situations- Hourly inaccurate modeled data on 10km solar grids + 10-minute measured data at several locations
• Goals- Predict solar output at subhourly resolution at any spatial points (disaggregation & extrapolation) - Develop a methodology that is applicable to natural resources in general
- Demonstrate capability of geostatistical techniques to predict the output of a potential solar plant
• Technology-Transfer Opportunities- Publication of the basic statistical methods in the open literature- Distribution of the computation-intensive geostatistical software- Application to “siting” for RE data collection

Classical vs. Modern Geostatistics
Classical Approach
• Linear estimator• Interpolation• Integrates variability and randomness between samples• Estimation error as a function of error-free measurements• Gaussian assumption (mean & variance only)• No incorporation of data uncertainty (hard only)
• Non-linear estimator• Interpolation and extrapolation• Integrates variability, randomness, and data uncertainty between samples• Estimation error as a function of error-free or error-containing measurements• No Gaussian assumption• Incorporation of data uncertainty (hard and soft)

Modern Geostatistics
Process various physical knowledge available1. General knowledge- statistical moments (autocorrelation in space and
time) - physical laws (fate and transport, chemistry, etc.)2. Site-specific knowledge- exact measurements called hard data- measurement with uncertainty called soft data

Conclusions
• The incorporation of real measurements into model-based PV estimates (Phase I) improves those estimates relative to model-only estimates within radii of approximately 15 km
• The accurate Phase I results can be extended spatially and temporally through the use of statistical models based on the correlation between Phase I results and atmospheric data (Phase II)
• Accounted for data uncertainty in PV model data that contain more biases than real measurements
• This technique can be used to quantify the value of measured data and provide guidance on the choice of new measurement sites
• This technique can be readily applied to wind and other RE resources (PV is actually a more difficult case than other RE resources because of fewer constraints on PV output and poorer data quality)
