High-frequency pv simulations are useful in several contexts including grid impact studies and energy storage simulations. The scarcity of high-frequency irradiance datasets has spurred the development of many methods of synthesizing high-frequency irradiance signals from lower-frequency measurements (eg hourly satellite data). A couple examples:
"Sub-Hour Solar Data for Power System Modeling from Static Spatial Variability Analysis"
https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy13osti/56204.pdf
"A stochastic downscaling approach for generating high-frequency solarirradiance scenarios"
http://amath.colorado.edu/faculty/kleiberw/papers/Zhang2018.pdf
These models often do not include a software implementation and are complex enough to present a significant barrier to entry for the reader. In that regard, they are similar to the decomposition/transposition irradiance functions included in pvlib. Implementing such a model in pvlib would increase its accessibility to the general public and increase pvlib's utility.
Would pvlib's authors be interested in including such a model in pvlib?
