Regional Nowcasting of the Solar Power Production with PV-Plant Measurements and Satellite Images
Abstract
With a rapid development of the installed PV-capacity during the last years, the influence of the PV-power generation on the power system increased. Since only ca. 25% of the PV-plants are monitored, the German system operators need to implement system to monitor the current PV-power production in their region (nowcasting system). In this paper, a method based on the combined use of satellite data and measurement is proposed to improve the accuracy of the assessment of regional PV-power production.
