Evaluating the impact of wildfire smoke on solar photovoltaic production

Journal Article Gilletly, Samuel D. ; Jackson, Nicole D. ; Staid, Andrea - Applied Energy

There are growing needs to understand how extreme weather events impact the electrical grid. Renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaics are expanding in use to help sustainably meet electricity demands. Wildfires and, notably, the widespread smoke resulting from them, are one such extreme event that can impair the performance of solar photovoltaics. However, isolating the impact that smoke has on photovoltaic energy production, separate from ambient conditions, can be difficult. In this work, we seek to understand and quantify the impacts of wildfire smoke on solar photovoltaic production within the Western United States. Our analysis focuses on the constructionmore »« less
Wildfire Smoke PM2.5 per Zipcode

Dataset Irene, Kezia ; Audirac, Michelle ; Spoto, Federica ; ...

This dataset contains daily aggregated measurements of daily PM2.5 from ambient wildfire smoke in the contiguous United States, spanning from 2006 to 2016. The data is sourced from a study by Childs et al. (2022), titled "Daily Local-Level Estimates of Ambient Wildfire Smoke PM2.5 for the Contiguous US" published in Environmental Science & Technology. To compute the standardized weight across different zip codes, we computed the weight calculation on a 10km grids. To compute the weight, we obtain area-weights that add up to 1 in each polygon of zipcodes. This enabled us to calculate the smoke values per zipcode formore »« less
Dataset for Evaluation of Extreme Weather Impacts on Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Plant Performance in the United States

Dataset Gunda, Thushara ; Jackson, Nicole

This dataset is a fusion of three data types (operations and maintenance tickets, weather data, and production data) that was used to support machine learning analysis and evaluation of drivers for low performance at photovoltaic (PV) sites during compound, extreme weather events. After being processed with machine learning, the data was used in the "Evaluation of Extreme Weather Impacts on Utility-scale Photovoltaic Plant Performance in the United States" manuscript. Additional details are captured in the associated manuscript.
Photovoltaic Data Acquisition (PVDAQ) Public Datasets

Dataset Deline, Chris ; Perry, Kirsten ; Deceglie, Michael ; ...

The NREL PVDAQ is a large-scale time-series database containing system metadata and performance data from a variety of experimental PV sites and commercial public PV sites. The datasets are used to perform on-going performance and degradation analysis. Some of the sets can exhibit common elements that effect PV performance (e.g. soiling). The dataset consists of a series of files devoted to each of the systems and an associated set of metadata information that explains details about the system hardware and the site geo-location. Some system datasets also include environmental sensors that cover irradiance, temperatures, wind speeds, and precipitation at themore » site.« less
