摘要： Proposed is an information processing method executed by a client terminal connected to a server through a communication network. The information processing method may include determining a load profile based on a recovery response for each of one or more plurality of photovoltaic cells included in a solar power generator. The method may also include generating a power profile of the solar power generator based on the load profile, and transmitting location information of the solar power generator and the power profile to the server. The method may further include receiving a reward based on a result of a verification for the power profile, the verification being performed by the server using the location information and meteorological observation data when the server receives the power profile.

摘要： Methods of determining solar radiation exposure are provided. A method may include tracing one or more rays from a first 3D coordinate to one or more additional 3D coordinates within a digital model representing one or more simulated locations of the sun within the digital model. The method may also include determining whether any of the rays of the one or more rays intersect an obstruction. Further, the method may include determining solar access associated with the first 3D coordinate based on the determination of whether any of the rays of the one or more rays intersect the obstruction.

摘要： A system for estimating cloud cover from moving vehicles includes: vehicle mounted sensors communicating with one or more control modules. The control modules have processors, memory, and input/output (I/O) ports. The I/O ports of the control modules of the vehicles communicate with the sensors. The control modules execute program code stored in the memory including first and second algorithm portions. The first algorithm portion, collects sensor data from the sensors, estimates atmospheric parameters from the sensor data; and computes measurement coordinates from the sensor data and atmospheric parameters. The second algorithm portion generates and selectively updates a cloud map based on from data received from the first algorithm portion, and from high-definition map (HD Map) data.

摘要： A forecast engine is configured to analyze aerial and/or satellite images depicting a geographic area to identify the existence of solar panels within the geographic area at different times. Based on the installation time of each solar panel, the forecast engine estimates the solar power generation capacity of the solar panel. The forecast engine also analyzes meteorological data, including weather forecasts, to estimate a level of insolation at each solar panel within the geographic area across a range of times. The forecast engine can then determine the total amount of solar power generation within the given geographic area at a particular time using the solar power generation capacity of each solar panel and the level of insolation at each solar panel at the particular time.

摘要： A forecast engine generates a clear-sky solar power generation level corresponding to a photovoltaic installation that resides within a geographical area. The clear-sky solar power generation level indicates an amount of electricity generated by the photovoltaic installation under clear-sky conditions. The forecast engine also generates a measurement device index corresponding to a measurement device that resides proximate to the photovoltaic installation. The measurement device index indicates an amount of cloud cover present at the location where the measurement device resides. The forecast engine then generates a solar power generation forecast for the geographical area based on the clear-sky solar power generation level and the measurement device index.

摘要： A system and method for correcting short term irradiance prediction for control of a photovoltaic power station includes an irradiance data manager that generates an observed irradiance curve based on irradiance measurements received from an irradiation sensor, and a reference curve generation engine that generates a reference curve representative of irradiance values for a clear sky day. An irradiance prediction engine generates an irradiance prediction curve based on image segmentation and motion filtering of cloud pixels in sky images. A prediction correction engine corrects the irradiance prediction curve within a short term future time interval based on probabilistic analysis of time segmented intervals of the observed irradiance curve, the reference curve, and the irradiance prediction curve.

摘要： The present disclosure generally relates to infrared cloud detector systems and methods for detecting cloud cover conditions. The infrared cloud detector system comprises an infrared sensor, an ambient temperature sensor, and logic. The infrared sensor is configured to measure sky temperature based on infrared radiation received within its field-of-view. The ambient temperature sensor is configured to measure an ambient temperature. And the logic is configured to determine a cloud condition based on a difference between the measured sky temperature and the measured ambient temperature.
