Energy solar power capacity value equivalent conventional power photovoltaic We compare capacity values estimates for photovoltaic solar plats at selected locations in the western United States using one minute and hourly weather data. Capacity value estimates using hourly data can differ from those using one minute data by up to 11%, depending on location. Our results show that hourly data can yield capacity value over- or under-estimates, depending on whether the systems tends to have summer or winter peaks. 2012-12-18 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1353966527 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1353966527 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
