Abstract
A Photovoltaic (PV) system is expected as one of the promising countermeasures for the global warming and the environmental issues. However, generation output from PV system is generally unstable and unpredictable. Therefore, large penetration of PV systems may cause some serious impacts to the power system operation such as a load frequency control, a voltage regulation, etc. Estimation of the influences of PV system installation is becoming important, however, it requires simultaneous multipoint solar radiation measurements. The Japan Meteorological Business Support Center has provided the 1-min meteorological data observed in Japan, however, its solar radiation data includes quantization errors. This paper proposes a regeneration method for the solar radiation data including quantization errors. This paper also analyses the spatial smoothing effect of the global solar radiation fluctuations.
