Stochastic Renewable Power Simulations Depending on Bias-corrected Climate Projections
摘要
The increasing penetration of nonprogrammable renewable energy sources requires powerful supporting tools, mostly based on Monte Carlo simulations, for long term power system planning, in order to assure its reliability and sustainability. This study presents the SPOPSI (Stochastic Power Profile Simulator) procedure, which generates an arbitrary number of different year-long hourly series of wind and photovoltaic power that can feed probabilistic tools at regional or market zone scale. Focusing on Italian power system, SPOPSI, at first, analyses historical power data and divides them in their stochastic and weather-dependent components, then produces new power series that preserve the statistical behavior and intrinsic variability of the data and accounts for the variability due to meteorological variables affecting the power generation. SPOPSI was trained and validated on both historical power and meteorological data, i.e. temperature, wind speed and short-wave radiation. Then, SPOPSI generates power series consistent with climate projections of the same weather variables derived from 10 Euro-CORDEX models at
