Stochastic generation of synthetic minutely irradiance time series derived from mean hourly weather observation data

Bright JM, Smith CJ, Taylor PG, Crook R Stochastic. (2015). Solar Energy, vol. 115, pp.229-242. Highlights A sun obscured methodology to generate 1 min resolution irradiance is proposed. A novel approach to generating cloud cover is presented. The use of multiple Markov chains offers improvement to resource modelling. Diurnal okta number variability gives the largest transition […]

Can CDM finance energy access in Least Developed Countries? Evidence from Tanzania

Policy documents and academic literature suggest that Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) finance could complement traditional ‘energy access’ (EA) funding in developing countries, including the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Yet these propositions have not been empirically tested. This study helps fill this gap by examining constraints to CDM project passage through five stages of an idealized […]
