The Challenges of Solar Forecasting: Reducing the Cost of Solar Power Through Research
Carlos Coimbra [UC Merced]
Abstract:
The Solar Forecasting Laboratory at the University of California Merced has collected over 15 months of high quality horizontal and direct normal irradiance measurements at different wavelengths (UV, IR and visible) with the primary objective of developing, calibrating and benchmarking novel and more accurate forecasting models for solar irradiance at the ground level. Without effective forecasting methodologies, neither solar nor wind power plants cannot be effectively connected to the power grid, which presents a major obstacle for high-penetration utilization of intermittent sources. We will discuss different strategies for solar forecasting for both short- and long-term, high spatial and temporal resolution, and forecasting for different solar applications. We will also present a hybrid (GA/ANN) SSL (Stochastic, Self-Learning) methodology that yields very promising results for modeling and forecasting the solar resource, as well as some recent results of the application of our forecasting methodology to model the power output of UC Merceds 1 MW solar farm (SunPower 1-axis TPV).

Fast Company Magazine has this to say about the Jellyfish:

Jellyfish Wind Power Concept:
What if you could plug renewable wind energy into the wall just like a blender or a toaster? Instead of using power, a wind appliance actually generates it!

Smart-Grid Enabled:
With onboard Wi-Fi/WiMAX the Jellyfish is also smart-grid enabled. Today, wind and solar-powered homes are operated as autonomous points within the local electrical grid. However, they are an overlooked, yet important electrical power resource. If instead, each were harnessed collectively and tied interactively with the local utility grid as a Point-to-Grid (P2G) power generator, or even regulator, considerable economic, environmental and system reliability benefits are possible. By itself, each of these power sources is indeed small in its impact on the power system. In the aggregate, however, the economic value of P2G power is significant, more than enough to offset the initial cost of installing the required control hardware and integrating these systems with the local utility grid. Equally important, the necessary regulatory and energy distribution infrastructure, and hardware components to enable a number of different types of P2G-based systems are already in place today. The convergence of existing distributed electric power and Wi-Fi/WiMAX technologies creates an emerging market opportunity for technology and service providers to enable and accelerate the introduction of various types of P2G-enabled power generation.

China reduces solar power costs with large-scale manufacturing
Over the past decade, China has become the world’s leading manufacturer of solar energy technologies; China’s solar manufacturers have helped drive down the cost of solar power around the world with their large-scale production facilities and solar panel exports. In October, ClimateWorks traveled to China to get a sense of the scale of China’s solar manufacturing efforts and talk to some local experts about China’s goals for dramatically scaling up its domestic deployment of solar energy technologies.

Solar Power Makes a Comeback
Medialink (June 2007) — Solar energy is abundant and infinitely renewable. Now, major corporations are doing their part to help the environment by putting their unused rooftop space to good use.
Corporations like Google, Staples, and General Motors are rolling out the latest solar technology. In fact, the General Motors California facility has the largest corporate design Solar Energy System in operation. Their current installation generates only one mega-watt.
While solar energy costs have dropped over 50 percent over the last 30 years, prices still remain high for the average consumer. Yet if you have the biggest companies in the world putting solar technology on their rooftops, that will drive up supply and demand of the systems. In turn, this will bring down the costs making it affordable for even the smallest of homeowners.
