Impact assessment of short-term variability of solar radiation in Rajasthan using SRRA data

Results suggest that the site-pair correlation is an important parameter to calculate for the estimation of solar power variability. The paper also presents that the event of spatial smoothing results in suppression of minimum 60% percentage of PV power variability in Rajasthan for time intervals ranging from 1 min to 15 min. Conclusively, the study shows that in Rajasthan, considerable smoothing exists, which can support large-scale integration of solar power into electricity networks.
