SOLAR 2014: Resource Assessment Track Features 48 Papers and Forums
The 43rd National Solar Conference (SOLAR 2014), hosted by the American Solar Energy Society in San Francisco (July 6-10), will feature a rich variety of presentations on measurement of solar and wind resources, and siting issues, under the Resources Assessment Track.
The program includes 47 papers and panels, from 38 universities and assessment consultants around the world.
Some highlights:
- Advances in pyranometer and radiometer technology
- Using satellite-derived and GIS data for granular resource analysis
- Module performance over decades, and snow effects on PV production
- Modeling utility-scale performance
- Predicting short-term variability
