Abstract
Various solutions to addressing the variability of solar resources and its effect on power system operation have been proposed. Solar forecasting has become an essential ingredient of power system operation in the many balancing areas with high solar power penetration. Satellite imagery plays a critical role in providing system-wide (and global) spatially and temporally resolved data for solar resource and forecasting models. The talk will review recent AI applications in satellite solar resource estimation and forecasting. Firm PV is another active research area that addresses solar resource variability. Firm PV pairs solar PV with energy storage and other generators to achieve a least-cost solution for stable / form power generation. The talk will review the latest research on firm PV. Finally, test beds are increasingly used for validating power system technologies. The talk will introduce the National Science Foundation DERConnect testbed for distributed control of distributed energy resources.
