Modeling and Analysis of Grid Scale Solar Energy Sites with Storage

Engineering & Applied Science (College of) / Computer Science

Project Description

The objective is to improve the solar irradiance modeling within a solar energy modeling tool. In this project, the student will review the literature, identify articles and methods aligned with the requirements of the solar energy modeling tool, and implement in computer software an irradiance modeling component that is suitable to the tool and has strong support in the literature.

Tasks and Responsibilites

Review literature, identify a well established solar irradiance statistical modeling method, and implement that method in the computer software environment Matlab.

Desired Qualifications

None listed.
