Abstract: Short-term solar variability is a very important topic, pertaining to the issue of large-scale integration of solar energy into the electric power system. A thorough analysis of this variability aspect can lead to better management, operation, and control of the electrical grid with high penetration from solar power. This topic is quite relevant for India, where a target of 100GW of installed solar capacity by the year 2022, exists. In the state of Rajasthan alone, a solar power capacity of around 5.8GW is aimed to be achieved by that time.
