Resumen de A procedure for evaluating the influence of weather Markovianity on the storage behaviour of solar systems
Corrado F. Ratto, Roberto Festa
The simultaneous behaviour of correlated inflows and storage states is described by means of a bivariate Markov chain which takes into account the serial correlation of inflows on the assumption that they can be described by a first order Markov process. To do this, we use the Storage Theory, developed by hydraulic engineers in the fifties and sixties: this theory appears to be a powerful and general tool for studying the behaviour of solar energy and wind energy systems with a time-constant of the order of some days. Expressions are given which allow the evaluation of the overspill of energy which occurs when the storage is full, and evaluation of the energy which has to be provided to the user by an auxiliary system when the storage is empty. In particular, we discuss the role of the permanency of weather conditions on the behaviour of the storage on a daily basis.
