In case of solar energy, knowledge of local irradiance and air temperature \r\nvalues is very important. For this, various methods can be used such as installing local weather stations or using \r\nmeteorological data from different organizations such as Meteonorm or official Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). An \r\nalternative is to use satellite reanalysis datasets provided by organizations like the National Aeronautics and Space \r\nAdministration (NASA) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). In this paper the \r\n“Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications” dataset version 2 (MERRA-2) will be presented, \r\nand its performance will be evaluated by comparing it to locally measured datasets provided by Meteonorm and DWD. \r\nThe analysis shows very high correlation between MERRA-2 and local measurements (correlation coefficients of 0.99) \r\nfor monthly global irradiance and air temperature values. The results prove the suitability of MERRA-2 data for \r\napplications requiring long historical data. Moreover, availability of MERRA-2 for the whole world with an acceptable \r\nresolution makes it a very valuable dataset."}],"doi":"10.4229/EUPVSEC20212021-5BV.4.11","keyword":["Energy potential estimation","Photovoltaic","Solar radiation","Temperature measurement","Satellite data","Meteonorm","MERRA-2","DWD"],"file":[{"date_created":"2022-01-06T13:26:47Z","success":1,"file_id":"29176","access_level":"closed","relation":"main_file","content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"krauter","file_name":"Khatibi Krauter - MERRA 2 vs Meteonorm - EUPVSEC 2021.pdf","file_size":2475972,"date_updated":"2022-01-06T13:26:47Z"}],"file_date_updated":"2022-01-06T13:26:47Z","page":"1141 - 1147","type":"conference","date_created":"2021-09-16T10:20:41Z","publication":"Proceedings of the 38th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EUPVSEC 2021)","author":[{"first_name":"Arash","id":"43538","full_name":"Khatibi, Arash","last_name":"Khatibi"},{"last_name":"Krauter","full_name":"Krauter, Stefan","id":"28836","orcid":"0000-0002-3594-260X","first_name":"Stefan"}],"status":"public","year":"2021","conference":{"start_date":"2021-09-06","end_date":"2021-09-10","name":"38th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EUPVSEC 2021)"},"_id":"24551","publication_identifier":{"isbn":["3-936338-78-7"]}}
