This paper describes a methodology to evaluate the storage capacity that should support a photo-voltaic (PV) power plant in order to reduce the power imbalance generated by the forecast error. This is obtained through a probabilistic analysis performed on an ensemble of synthetic data. The synthetic data signals are generated starting from at least 1 year of measured data and reproduce the same statistical distribution and the same Fourier power spectrum (FPS) shape.
