CONTEXT: MODEL PURPOSE
• Such models are used to ... determine the future value of PV generation projects (expressed as the predicted energy yield).... Greater confidence in the accuracy of performance models will lead to lower financing costs and an increase in the number of projects that are built.
• Historical data is typically used to predict output of proposed systems.

(here, the mean of the 20 pre-construction annual resource averages)
PREDICTION ERROR DISTRIBUTION4
assumptions:• resource values are statistically independent• resource values are normally distributed• variability is the same pre- and post-construction
definition:
then: • t has Student’s t-distribution with n1 + n2 – 2 degrees of
freedom

P50 ESTIMATION
Procedure:• “predict” average of each decade, using...
• mean of previous decade as estimator
• 12 cases for 130-y records: Armagh, Blue Hill; 8 cases for 90-y record: Stockholm
• difference means; divide by “σ ,” giving tOutputs:
• distribution of t-statistic
• distribution of # of years out 10 exceeding P50Control:• same outputs for randomly permuted inputs

CONCLUSIONS
• assumption of statistical independence is NOT warranted:
• resource levels exhibit year-to-year correlation over decades
• IAV appears to grow with record length, out to 130-y limit of available records
• assumption of independence will lead to material understatement of risk:– 2–3× understatement of energy production prediction interval – 2–3× understatement of exceedance-range prediction interval
(based on interquartile ranges).
