Context & Environment

This internship is offered under R&D Solar Theme 1: Resource & Yield and isco-supervised by Digital Solutions team. Located in Saclay & La Défense, you will work closely with a data scientist and industry experts to support PV deployment globally through "Resource Assessment and Forecast" project.

Activities

As a Photovoltaic soiling modeling using global reanalysis data M/F trainee, your missions will be to contribute to the ongoing PV soiling modeling efforts, with the objectives to better:

• Estimate energy losses due to soiling
• Inform optimal cleaning strategies for PV sites (future and existing)

The ambition is to support decision making providing insights worldwide and with no in-situ measurement available (prospection phase prior any installation) leveraging global reanalysis data.

Key Tasks:

1. Literature Review: Study PV soiling and Dry Deposition models for particulate matter. A particular attention will be given to available models with respect to their respective experimental and climatic setting.
2. Model Enhancement: Propose improvements to model physical parameters with expert guidance.
3. Data Exploration: Investigate various particulate matter data sources (e.g., EAC4 from CAMS) and meteorological data (e.g., ERA5).
4. Model Benchmarking: Evaluate models performance using soiling measurements from TotalEnergies experimental sites.
5. Uncertainty Analysis: Propose a method for uncertainty assessment
6. Results Presentation: Present findings to the team and at the annual MATHIAS Conference (poster presentation).

You will evolve within a team of experienced professionals and with a tutor-coach, the reference for your future profession. Individualized support will help you develop your autonomy and lead you to your diploma!
