QUANTIFYING THE ACCURACY OF THE USE OF MEASURE-CORRELATE-PREDICT METHODOLOGY FOR LONG-TERM SOLAR RESOURCE ESTIMATES

摘要

Several analytical methods have been applied to merge data sets with different periods of record. The Measure-Correlate-Predict (MCP) method is another potential solar resource assessment technique. This study examines the quality and consistency of MCP-based long-term solar resource estimates. The results of a case study indicate that MCP effectively minimizes the uncertainty in long-term solar resource assessment.
