Influence of climatological data records on design of a standalone hybrid PV-hydroelectric power system

Climatological data records have a critical role in the design of renewable power systems. Various data sampling approaches were employed by literature. However, to the authors’ knowledge, there is no work comparing them. This paper compares the results of four commonly used data records sampling scenarios (scenario 1:“15th July”, scenario 2: “a single yearly-averaged day”, scenario 3: “12 monthly-averaged days”, and scenario 4: “full yearly...
