Forecasting Group with various research projects involving
the measurement, modeling, and analysis of solar radiation
resources for renewable energy applications. Solar
radiation data of known quality are needed to characterize
the weather-driven variability of this energy resource
over a wide range of historical time scales (1 s –
decadal) and spatial scales (100 m – global). These
characterizations are fundamental to the siting, design,
economic performance modeling, and acceptance testing of
solar energy conversion systems. Solar resource and
meteorological data are also needed for modeling building
system thermal performance and energy efficiency analyses.
These data are also critical for developing solar resource
forecasts in support of the increased deployment of
photovoltaic and solar thermal conversion systems for
central and distributed electricity generation. In
addition solar forecasting forms a critical component of
future plans to install and operate of high penetrations
of clean technologies on the grid. This person should be a
self-starter with demonstrated ability to quickly address
the various scientific and technical aspects of solar and
atmospheric measurements, modeling, data quality
assessments involving large data sets (TBytes). This
person should be able to work with a broad range of
external stakeholders, including scientists, engineers,
economists, policy makers, and others engaged in aspects
of renewable energy systems integration.</span></td>
