Geographically distributed solar power time series

This dataset contains electrical energy hourly time series from 44 small-PV (households) units located in the same region, with installed capacity ranging between 1.1 and 3.7 kWp. This data was collected by smart meters in 15 minutes time series and used in the FP7 SuSTAINABLE project.

The dataset contains:

  • admm_functions.R: R script with ADMM algorithm implementation.

  • clear_sky_functions.R: R script to estimate clear-sky solar power generation with the model described in Bacher et al. (2009).

  • coef_generator.R: R script with the functions for generating VAR model coefficients, according to the implementation in (Virolainen, 2020).

  • run_experiments.R: R script with the commands for generating the results of Section 3.3.1.

  • c_sky.csv: estimated clear-sky solar power generation.

  • normalized_PVdata.csv: normalized (with clear-sky model) solar power time series data.

  • PVdata.csv: solar power time series data.

See [A] for more details about the R code.
