    Sample size significantly impacts irradiance probability density function (PDF) diagnostics. Monte Carlo simulations reveal conventional PDF methods have low resolving power, suggesting a need for improved analysis techniques.

    Area of Science:

    • Atmospheric science
    • Solar energy research
    • Statistical analysis

    Background:

    • Understanding solar irradiance variability is crucial for renewable energy systems.
    • Accurate characterization of irradiance probability density functions (PDFs) is essential for performance modeling.
    • Previous studies have explored sample size effects, but comprehensive analysis across various PDF diagnostic methods is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the influence of sample size on different irradiance probability density function (PDF) diagnostic methods.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of various sampling rates for accurate PDF estimation.
    • To assess the resolving power of conventional irradiance PDF integrating techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Monte Carlo-based simulation to estimate sample size influence.
