On April 8, 2024 North America will experience a total solar eclipse that will pass over areas with high levels of solar generation. This video shows a visualization of the simulated impact of this event on the US solar PV generation. The simulations and visualizations were done using PowerWorld Simulator Version 23 (March 11, 2024 patch) with the solar generation based on EIA 860 information. ...

Overview of Weather features introduced with PowerWorld Simulator 23

An annular solar eclipse will pass over North and South America on Saturday October 14, 2023. Since the path of the eclipse crosses regions with large amounts of solar PV generation, Professor Thomas Overbye of Texas A&M University produced a two-minute video that shows the estimated impact of this eclipse on US PV generation. Since the initial video was produced prior to the eclipse, it shows ...
