Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models such as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model are essential for forecasting one-day-ahead solar irradiance. In order to evaluate the performance of the WRF in forecasting solar irradiance over the Korean Peninsula, we compared WRF prediction data from 2008 to 2010 corresponding to weather observation data (OBS) from the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA). The WRF model showed poor performance at polluted regions such as Seoul and Suwon where the relative Root Mean Square Error (rRMSE) is over 30%. Predictions by the WRF model alone had a large amount of potential error because of the lack of actual aerosol radiative feedbacks. For the purpose of reducing this error induced by atmospheric particles, i.e., aerosols, the WRF model was coupled with the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model. The coupled system makes it possible to estimate the radiative feedbacks of aerosols on the solar irradiance. As a result, the solar irradiance estimated by the coupled system showed a strong dependence on both the aerosol spatial distributions and the associated optical properties. In the NF (No Feedback) case, which refers to the WRF-only stimulated system without aerosol feedbacks, the GHI was overestimated by $50-200W\;m^{-2}$ compared with OBS derived values at each site. In the YF (Yes Feedback) case, in contrast, which refers to the WRF-CMAQ two-way coupled system, the rRMSE was significantly improved by 3.1-3.7% at Suwon and Seoul where the Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations, specifically, those related to the $PM_{10}$ size fraction, were over $100{\mu}g\;m^{-3}$. Thus, the coupled system showed promise for acquiring more accurate solar irradiance forecasts.

In this work, we propose weather prediction models to estimate hourly outdoor temperatures and solar irradiance in the next day using forecasting information. Hourly weather data predicted by the proposed models are useful for setting system operating strategies for the next day. The outside temperature prediction model considers 3-hourly temperatures forecasted by Korea Meteorological Administration. Hourly data are obtained by a simple interpolation scheme. The solar irradiance prediction is achieved by constructing a dataset with the observed cloudiness and correspondent solar irradiance during the last two weeks and then by matching the forecasted cloud factor for the next day with the solar irradiance values in the dataset. To verify the usefulness of the weather prediction models in predicting a short-term building load, the predicted data are inputted to a TRNSYS building model, and results are compared with a reference case. Results show that the test case can meet the acceptance error level defined by the ASHRAE guideline showing 8.8% in CVRMSE in spite of some inaccurate predictions for hourly weather data.

Images taken by geostationary satellite may be used to estimate solar irradiance fluxes at earth's surface. It is based on the empirical correlation between a satellite derived cloud index and the irradiance at the ground. For the validation, estimated solar radiation fluxes are compared with observed solar radiation fluxes at 16 sites over the Korean peninsular from January 1982 to December 2004. Estimated solar radiation fluxes show reliable results for estimating the global radiation with average deviation of -7.8 to +7.0% from the measured values and the yearly averaged horizontal global insolation of Korean peninsula was turned out to be $3.56kW/m^{2}/day$.

There are many factors that affect on the system output of Photovoltaic(PV) power generation; the variation of solar radiation, temperature, energy conversion efficiency of solar cell etc. This paper suggests a methodology for calculation of PV generation output using the probability distribution function of irradiance, PV array efficiency and revision factors of solar cell conversion efficiency. Long-term irradiance data recorded every hour of the day for 11 years were used. For goodness-fit test, several distribution (unctions are tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S) method. The calculated generation output with or without revision factors of conversion efficiency is compared with that of CMS (Centered Monitoring System), which can monitor PV generation output of each PV generation site.

지표 일사량 데이터는 신재생 에너지 자원지도 제작, 태양 에너지 관련 시설의 입지 선정 및 관련 정책의 기초 자료 및 농작물 생산량 예측 등의 매우 다양한 분야에 사용될 수 있는 중요한 데이터이며, 이에 최근 한국에서도 일사량 데이터 구축에 대한 연구의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 COMS-MI(천리안 기상위성) 영상과 Heliosat-II 방법을 이용하여 국내 일사량을 추정하고자, Heliosat-II 방법을 국내 데이터에 적합하도록 수정하고, 이를 통하여 일사량을 추정하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 COMS-MI 위성 영상 및 국내 기상 데이터 등을 확보하고 전처리를 수행하였다. 또한 Heliosat-II 방법의 입력 데이터이자 중간 결과물인 지표 반사도(ground albedo) 보정을 수행하고, 반사도 참조 지도(background albedo map)의 정확도를 높이고자 기존의 방법을 수정하였다. 그리고 이와 같이 수정된 Heliosat-II 방법을 통하여 추정 일사량을 도출하고, 이를 지상에서 관측된 일사량 실측치와의 비교를 통하여 정확도를 검증하였다. 실험 결과, 수정된 Heliosat-II 방법을 사용할 경우, 약 30.8%의 RMSE(%) 정확도를 나타내었으며, 기존 Heliosat-II 방법을 그대로 이용하였을 경우에 비하여 약 10% 수준의 향상된 정확도를 확보할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

After 30 years of KKP model analysis and extended 30 years of accuracy analysis, the unique correlation and various problems between measured horizontal surface insolation and measured weather data are found in this paper. The KKP model's 10yrs daily total horizontal surface insolation forecasting was averaged about 97.7% on average, and the forecasting accuracy at peak times per day was about 92.1%, which is highly applicable regardless of location and weather conditions nationwide. The daily total solar radiation forecasting accuracy of the modified KKP cloud model was 98.9%, similar to the KKP model, and 93.0% of the forecasting accuracy at the peak time per day. And the results of evaluating the accuracy of calculation for 30 years of KKP model were cloud model 107.6% and cloud model 95.1%. During the accuracy analysis evaluation, this study found that inaccuracies in measurement data of cloud cover should be clearly assessed by the Meteorological Administration.

A study was conducted to analyze data from 1981 to 2020 for understanding the impact of climate on solar energy generation. A significant increase of 104.6 kWhm^-2 was observed in the annual cumulative solar radiation over this period. Notably, the distribution of solar radiation shifted, with the solar radiation in Busan rising from the seventh place in 1981 to the second place in 2020 in South Korea. This study also examined the correlation between long-term temperature trends and solar radiation. Areas with the highest solar radiation in 2020, such as Busan, Gwangju, Daegu, and Jinju, exhibited strong positive correlations, suggesting that increased solar radiation contributed to higher temperatures. Conversely, regions like Seosan and Mokpo showed lower temperature increases due to factors such as reduced cloud cover. To evaluate the impact on solar energy production, simulations were conducted using climate data from both years. The results revealed that relying solely on historical data for solar energy predictions could lead to overestimations in some areas, including Seosan or Jinju, and underestimations in others such as Busan. Hence, considering long-term climate variability is vital for accurate solar energy forecasting and ensuring the economic feasibility of solar projects.

본 논문은 서울, 부산, 인천과 같은 대한민국의 주요 도시들을 대상으로 일사량 예측 정확도를 향상하기 위한 방법론을 제안한다. 제안한 방법론은 먼저 GAN, CTGAN, Copula GAN, WGANGP, TVAE 등 다섯 가지 생성 모델을 이용하여 기존 학습 데이터와 유사한 독립 변수들을 생성한다. 다음으로 모델 학습에서의 데이터 편향성을 개선하고자, 생성한 독립 변수들에서 각각 랜덤 포레스트와 심층 신경망을 통해 종속 변숫값을 도출하여 학습 데이터 셋을 구축하고, 이를 기존 학습데이터 셋과 결합하여 예측 모델을 구성한다. 실험 결과, 증강된 데이터 셋으로 학습한 모델들은 기존 데이터 셋으로 학습한 모델들보다 향상된 성능을 나타내었다. 특히 CTGAN은 복잡한 다변량 데이터 관계를 효과적으로 다루는 메커니즘으로 인해 우수한 결과를 도출하였으며, 생성된 데이터는 일사량의 다양한 변화와 실제 변동성과 효과적으로 반영하였다. 제안한 방법론은 고품질의 생성 데이터로 학습 데이터를 증강함으로써, 데이터 부족 현상 문제를 다룰 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 태양광 발전 시스템 운영에도 이바지할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
