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>

satellite- and ground-based observations for estimating
solar resources. Work at a high-level with DOE and
organizations involved in weather forecasting and
numerical weather prediction model development. Develop
applications to provide solar resource data for the
validation and improvement of atmospheric mesoscale
models and provide inputs to real-time power plant
forecasting. Develop scientific applications software
for the analysis of solar radiation and meteorological
parameters in time-series and geospatial domains. Work
with the NREL web team to make solar resource and
meteorological data publicly available as appropriate.
Present research results to key stakeholders and publish
scientific findings in technical journals and conference
