The intermittency of the solar radiation is the big challenger for the management of electrical SMART GRID network. So the forecasting of the solar radiation remains the crucial objective to anticipate the injection of the electrical power produced by a photovoltaic generator. In this study, we...

Using high-frequency data, I show that the supply of electricity by solar households can be downward-sloping. I document that households receiving higher prices to sell electricity increase their own consumption as their panels produce more, relative to households receiving lower prices. I test...

Across Europe, ambitions to further integrate solar and wind power plants into wholesale markets are increasing. Therefore, it becomes crucial to understand the dynamics of future markets with high shares of intermittent renewable energy. Since most renewables incur very low marginal costs,...

EMHIRES is the first publically available European solar power generation dataset derived from meteorological sources that is available at country, bidding zone, NUTS-1 and NUTS-2 level. It was generated applying using the validated and robust PVGIS model to estimate the solar electricity...

The rate of growth of the worldwide photovoltaic solar energy market in recent years (30% per year) can be compared only with the growth in some sectors of informatics and mobile communications. The presentations contained in these Proceedings address the recent developments and research efforts...

This brochure is the final publishable report of the project SOLGATE funded under the fifth RTD Framework programme (1999-2002). The project demonstrated the technical feasibility a new solar-hybrid power system. Solar radiation is used to heat air up to 800°C that is send to the combustion...
