Abstract This study proposes an automatic smart adaptive cloud identification (SACI) system for sky imagery and solar irradiance forecast. The is deployed using off-the-shelf fish-eye cameras that offer substantial advantages in terms of cost when compared to industry-standard imagers. SACI uses a image categorization (SIC) algorithm combines the images measurements classify conditions into three categories: clear, overcast, partly cloudy. A detection scheme, optimized each category, used...

The utility-scale deployment of photovoltaic (PV) power plants is critical for achieving carbon peaking and neutrality goals mitigating climate change. However, the impact a PV plant project on microclimate unclear different underlying surfaces. Therefore, in deserts lakes were selected to assess compare array environment by observation. results indicate that affected wind pattern, direction makes simple (from 10 m 2 m), speed site under two types surfaces was less than reference site. For...

Estimating spectral plane-of-array (POA) solar irradiance on inclined surfaces is an important step in the design and performance evaluation of both photovoltaic concentrated plants. This work introduces a fast, line-by-line spectral, Monte Carlo (MC) radiative transfer model approach to simulate anisotropic distributions shortwave radiation through atmosphere as photon bundles impinge surfaces. fast reproduces angular distribution without undesirable effects spatial discretization thus...

Effective screening of factors influencing photovoltaic electrical yield is crucial for accurate forecasting, especially fishery plant facing geographical challenges. This paper investigates and its main under various cloud cover conditions through in-situ observations. Findings reveal distinct variations in with different clearness index. DSR, panel temperature, VPD jointly impact yield. When temperature below 30°C, capacity increases by 10 kW·h every 1 W·m−2 rise DSR. Moreover, a kPa...

Abstract Evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical process that regulates the transfer of heat and water between land atmosphere. While satellite‐based ET algorithms can provide area‐wide daily estimates, few are independent local meteorological measurements. The Variant Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Standard Algorithm (VISEA) potentially run without ground‐based observations. However, surface energy budgets used in VISEA generally overpredict net radiation related ET. To improve...

However, the impact a PV plant project on microclimate unclear different underlying surfaces. Therefore, in deserts lakes were selected to assess compare array environment by observation. results indicate that arrays had no effect air temperature at center gap. heat from panels transmitted down land surface, causing desert lakes. Furthermore,...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a critical process that regulates the heat and water transfer between land atmosphere. Instantaneous satellite data can provide area-wide daily ET measurements. Surface energy budgets used in satellite-based calculations generally overpredict net radiation related ET. Our objective was to improve accuracy of evapotranspiration by correcting overprediction radiation. To do so, we introduced routine for calculating downward longwave on cloudy days. This new algorithm...
