Abstract:Based on the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) data quality control norm and the national standards such as "Assessment method of solar energy resource" and "Specification for data inspection and correction of wind power plant meteorological observation", a integrity and validity inspection was conducted on 7 items in 4 categories of meteorological observation data, including the solar radiation, the wind, the temperature and the relative humidity, for 8 photovoltaic power stations in Shaanxi Province. The integrity rate of the valid data was divided into 5 grades to assess the data quality. The results indicate that: (1) The integrity rate of radiation data is higher than that of wind, temperature and relative humidity. The overall ranking is total radiation > scattering radiation > direct radiation > relative humidity > temperature > wind. (2) The integrity rate of valid radiation data is lower than that of wind, temperature and relative humidity. The overall ranking is temperature > relative humidity > wind > total radiation > direct radiation > scattering radiation, with only the temperature meeting the national standard. (3) The data quality of the three radiation items is relatively poor. The total proportion of stations with radiation data quality meeting the national standard (combined grades 1-2) is only 0%-12.5%, and the proportion of poor and extremely poor grades (combined grades 4-5) account for 50%-75%. (4) The overall quality of the wind, temperature and relative humidity data is respectively poor, good, and average. The compliance rates are 25%, 62.5%, and 50% respectively, and the combined proportion of poor and extremely poor grades account for 50%, 12.5%, and 37.5% respectively. (5) The variation coefficient of radiation reveals that the radiation data quality of 4 stations such as Lianhuachi Station in winter is worse than that in summer. Only the radiation data quality of Mingshuo Station is relatively stable each month.
