AWS Truepower presented a webinar for NREL’s System Advisor Model (SAM) Virtual Conference. Discussion included how selecting the most appropriate solar resource data is critical for improving the confidence of energy simulations in SAM. We also evaluated the use of default weather files in SAM and quantifed the uncertainty associated with these input data sets.

AWS Truepower presented a poster at ASES 2012 based on the idea that using an 8760 data set of on-site measurement instead of a TMY data set for input into energy modeling may do a better job at representing a site’s long-term solar resource, resulting in more accurate energy modeling for a project site.

AWS Truepower presented a paper at ASES 2012 on P50 Variation.
It is a review on how multiple data sets used for the same location will result in different P50 values. So how do you know which data set to select to represent your project site? To download paper, Click here. To download presentation, click here.
Chris Thuman of AWS Truepower presented solar MCP at ASES 2012.
It includes a review of methods to combine short period on-site measurements with historical long-term data sets to estimate the long-term solar resource. The uncertainty of this method is also quantified in this work.

Whitney Wilson, Senior Engineer of AWS Truepower will present a poster on grid congestion and pricing at Windpower 2012. The focus is to identify opportunities for offshore wind development areas that have high power prices and available capacity to accept additional generation.
Jeff Freedman, Lead Research Scientist of AWS Truepower will present a poster at Windpower 2012 on The Wind Forecasting Improvement Project (WFIP). This is a two-year Department of Energy (DOE)/National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sponsored study to demonstrate the value of additional atmospheric observations and model enhancements on 0- to 6-hour (short term) wind energy production forecasts.
