Abstract
The rising of energy demand has accelerated the research on renewable energy, especially photovoltaic (PV). Solar road is an emerging PV technology that can not only harvest the dispersed and vast solar energy but also maximize the land utilization. This paper proposed a solar road hosting capacity assessment model considering dynamic shading and spatial correlation. The dynamic shading caused by traffic flow on solar road is considered as an effect factor which will impact the PV output. In order to quantify the traffic influence on PV output, a traffic flow assignment model is used for simulation. Meanwhile, the spatial correlation between dispersed PV stations is computed by copula model. The proposed method is examined on a test system with coupled transportation and distribution network. The numerical results substantiate that the proposed method is an effective tool for assessing the PV hosting capacity for solar road.
