Investigation of Daytime Peak Loads to Improve the Power Generation Costs of Solar-Integrated Power Systems

Table 4

Results of 2-tailed tests showing the solar load correlation coefficients and values of various load profiles (LPs) under average, abundant, and scarce solar resource conditions.

LP	Average		Abundant		Scarce
	Coefficient	value	Coefficient	value	Coefficient	value
LP1	0.539	0.007	0.558	0.005	0.486	0.016
LP2	0.458	0.024	0.476	0.019	0.433	0.035
LP3	0.292	0.167	0.306	0.145	0.313	0.136
LP4	-0.006	0.979	0.003	0.991	0.083	0.701

Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed). Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
