Systems And Methods For Model-Based Solar Power Management
First Claim
1. A system for predicting power output from photo-voltaic power generation resources, the system comprising:
- an analytics server communicatively connected to a data acquisition component and a virtual system model database;
wherein the analytics server is operable to;
receive real-time data via the data acquisition component from an electrical system comprising photo-voltaic power generation resources;
generate predicted data based on a virtual model of the electrical system provided by the virtual system model database;
continuously and automatically synchronize the virtual model with the electrical system based on a difference between the real-time data and the predicted data;
receive solar irradiance forecast data; and
forecast a power output of the photo-voltaic power generation resources based on the virtual model and the solar irradiance forecast data.

Abstract
Systems and methods for predicting power output from photo-voltaic power generation resources are disclosed. An analytics server is communicatively connected to a data acquisition component and a virtual system model database. The analytics server is operable to receive real-time data via the data acquisition component from an electrical system comprising photo-voltaic power generation resources; generate predicted data based on a virtual model of the electrical system provided by the virtual system model database; continuously and automatically synchronize the virtual model with the electrical system based on a difference between the real-time data and the predicted data; receive solar irradiance forecast data; and forecast a power output of the photo-voltaic power generation resources based on the virtual model and the solar irradiance forecast data. The photo-voltaic power generation resources include at least one photo-voltaic inverter.
