Methods for location identification of renewable energy systems

1. A computer processor implemented method of identifying a location of a renewable energy system, said method comprising the steps of:

providing a set of renewable energy systems having at least two location-known renewable energy systems each having a longitude-latitude pair input data and production data;

storing the longitude-latitude pair input data and production data in a computer processor;

providing at least one location-unknown renewable energy system having production data in the computer processor

correlating by said computer processor each of said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to at least one location-known renewable energy system according to said longitude-latitude pair input data and said production data from said at least one location-known renewable energy system and said production data from said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system;

providing a best-fit location for each of said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system by triangulating said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to provide a triangulated latitude and longitude;

setting said triangulated latitude and longitude for said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to become a determined location-known renewable energy system that is part of the set of renewable energy systems; and

outputting said triangulated latitude and longitude for said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to a user to improve efficiency associated with monitoring said determined location-known renewable energy system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said production data from said at least one location-known renewable energy system is simulated production data according to environmental conditions at said longitude-latitude pair input data, and said step of correlating by said computer processor each of said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to said at least one location-known renewable energy system is according to said longitude-latitude pair input data from said at least one location-known renewable energy system and said simulated production data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said environmental conditions at said longitude-latitude pair input data are estimated.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein said environmental conditions at said longitude-latitude pair input data are observed.

5. A renewable energy location identification system, comprising:

at least two location-known renewable energy systems coupled to a computer processor, said computer processor configured to store a set of parameters associated with said renewable energy systems, the set of parameters comprising longitude-latitude pair input data and production data; and

at least one location-unknown renewable energy system having production data and coupled to the computer processor, said computer processor configured to:

correlate each of said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to at least one location-known renewable energy system according to said set of parameters,

provide a best-fit location for each of said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system by triangulating said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to provide a triangulated latitude and longitude,

set said triangulated latitude and longitude for said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to become a determined location-known renewable energy system that is part of a set of renewable energy systems with the at least two location-known renewable energy systems, and

output said triangulated latitude and longitude for said at least one location-unknown renewable energy system to a user to improve efficiency associated with monitoring said determined location-known renewable energy system.
