Text mining is an emerging topic that advances the review of academic literature. This paper
presents a preliminary study on how to review solar irradiance and photovoltaic (PV) power …

The intrinsic performance of 18 broadband radiative models is assessed, using high-quality
datasets from five sites in widely different climates. The selected models can predict direct …

The Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) is a web application for the
estimation of the performance of photovoltaic (PV) systems in Europe and Africa, which has …

Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach was written for experienced GIS users, who want
to learn GRASS, as well as for the Open Source software users who are GIS newcomers …

The solar radiation model r. sun is a flexible and efficient tool for the estimation of solar
radiation for clear‐sky and overcast atmospheric conditions. In contrast to other models, r …

This study presents a methodology for the assessment of photovoltaic potential in urban
areas using open-source solar radiation tools and a 3-D city model implemented in a …

This authoritative and multi-disciplinary book provides architects, lighting specialists, and
anyone else working daylight into design, with all the tools needed to incorporate this most …

A model for the performance of generic crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules is
proposed. The model represents the output power of the module as a function of module …

This article investigates the feasibility of achieving higher performance from ground-source
heat-pumps (GSHP) in space heating mode through the use of solar thermal collectors. A …

In this work, we propose a new regressive model for the estimation of the hourly diffuse solar
irradiation under all sky conditions. This new model is based on the sigmoid function and …
