Berkeley Lab has developed the Power Reliability Event Simulator TOol (PRESTO), an easy-to-use, publicly available model that can be used to simulate the occurrence of short-duration power interruptions in any county in the continental United States.
Accompanying technical brief demonstrates its use for evaluating the backup power performance of distributed solar+storage systems
Most power interruptions are relatively short, typically lasting minutes to hours, but they are also unpredictable. Assessing the potential of solar photovoltaic and energy storage systems to mitigate these interruptions requires the ability to account for both the unpredictability of these events as well as typical patterns in when and for how long they tend to occur in any given location.
Berkeley Lab will host a free webinar presenting the tool and case study on November 7th at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Please register for the webinar here:? PRESTO simulates the occurrence of interruption events over a large number of simulation years. In each simulation year, PRESTO produces a time-series of interruption events with stochastic frequency, duration, and timing.
