The penetration and acceptance of Renewable Energy Systems (RESs) has already taken
place in our lives. Solar energy is the feedstock/source for various applications of RES, and …

云是一种常见和重要的天气现象, 在大气辐射传输中扮演着重要角色. 云的形态, 分布,
数量及其变化标志着大气运动的状况. 云的观测对军事活动, 国民经济和社会服务等方面具有 …

The intermittent and stochastic character of solar radiation makes the energy manager work
difficult especially to maintain the production/consumption balance within an electrical grid …

There are a couple of reasons to stimulate a discussion about the definition of clouds. One
reason is that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the World Meteorological …

The energy available in a solar energy powered grid is uncertain due to the weather
conditions at the time of generation. Forecasting global solar irradiance could address this …

Imaging the atmosphere with a thermal infrared camera can yield a rich variety of
information, ranging from the water-vapour content to the spatial distribution of clouds. Such …

The increasing penetration of photovoltaic systems in the power grid makes it vulnerable to
cloud shadow projection. Real-time cloud segmentation in ground-based infrared images is …

This work discusses the relevance of three sky cover (SC) indices for solar radiation
modeling and forecasting. The three indices are global in the sense that they integrate …

An uncooled microbolometer-array thermal infrared camera has been incorporated into a
remote sensing system for radiometric sky imaging. The radiometric calibration is validated …

Cloud segmentation plays a very important role in astronomical observatory site selection. At
present, few researchers segment cloud in nocturnal all-sky imager (ASI) images. This paper …
