Estimating Hourly Beam and Diffuse Solar Radiation in an Alpine Valley: A Critical Assessment of Decomposition Models
(2018)Accurate solar radiation estimates in Alpine areas represent a challenging task, because of the strong variability arising from orographic effects and mountain weather phenomena. These factors, together with the scarcity ... -
Multi-objective optimization algorithm coupled to EnergyPLAN software: The EPLANopt model
(2018)The planning of energy systems with high penetration of renewables is becoming more and more important due to environmental and security issues. On the other hand, high shares of renewables require proper grid integration ... -
RENEWABLE ENERGY HIGH PENETRATION SCENARIOS USING MULTI-NODES APPROACH: ANALYSIS FOR THE ITALIAN CASE
(2017)The integration of high shares of variable renewable energy sources is becoming more and more challenging. The main options to achieve this task are the enlargement and reinforcement of the grid, the use of storage devices, ... -
Multi-Model Ensemble for Day Ahead PV Power Forecasting Improvement
(2016)The aim of the paper is to compare several data-driven PV power forecast models using different Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) input data and then to build up an outperforming Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) and its prediction ... -
Data-driven upscaling methods for regional photovoltaic power estimation and forecast using satellite and numerical weather prediction data
(2017)The growing photovoltaic generation results in a stochastic variability of the electric demand that could compromise the stability of the grid, increase the amount of energy reserve and the energy imbalance cost. On regional ... -

Introducing ‘PEARL-PV’: Performance and Reliability of Photovoltaic Systems: Evaluations of Large-Scale Monitoring Data
(2018)This paper will introduce a recently initiated COST Action entitled PEARL-PV and show its4-year research and work plan with the aim to create exposure, receive feedback from various stakeholders and involve new participants ... -
Understanding the time evolution of PVGIS performance model parameters and the temperature coefficients
(2018)The time evolution of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules has attracted increasing interest in recent years and many methods exist to estimate the performance loss rates. In this work, we analyze the relative ... -
BiPV System Performance and Efficiency Drops: Overview on PV Module Temperature Conditions of Different Module Types
(2014)A typical problem of BiPV systems (Building Integrated Photovoltaic) is the power loss due to temperature increase, because modules often operate close to the building envelope with low ventilation. It is thus essential ... -
Experimental investigation of a low cost passive strategy to improve the performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic systems
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2015)A typical problem of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BiPV) is the power loss due to temperature increase caused by limited cooling compared to free standing photovoltaic (PV) systems. Higher operating temperatures have ...
