GPU-based roofs' solar potential estimation using LiDAR data
Solar potential estimation using LiDAR data is an efficient approach for finding suitable roofs for photovoltaic systems’ installations. As the amount of LiDAR data increases, the non-parallel methods take considerable time to accurately estimate the solar potential. Although supercomputing provides a possible solution, it is still too expensive and thus infeasible for general usage. Fortunatel...

متن کاملEstimation of Solar Radiation on Building Roofs in Mountainous Areas
The aim of this study is estimating solar radiation on building roofs in complex mountain landscape areas. A multi-scale solar radiation estimation methodology is proposed that combines 3D data ranging from regional scale to the architectural one. Both the terrain and the nearby building shadowing effects are considered. The approach is modular and several alternative roof models, obtained by s...
متن کاملParallelization of ray casting for solar irradiance calculations in urban environments asdfenvirenvironments
The growing amount of photovoltaic systems in urban environments creates peaks of energy generation in local energy grids. These peaks can lead to unwanted instability in the electrical grid. By aligning solar panels differently, spikes could be avoided. Planning locations for solar panels in urban environments is very time-intense as they require a high spatial and temporal resolution. The aim...
متن کاملApplication of Solar Thermal Collectors to Improve the Energy Performance of the Fresh Air HVAC Systems
In the preset study, the performance of a solar assisted heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system in an operating theater building was studied. The yearly performances of the existing HVAC system and the system with the added solar collectors were simulated in terms of energy consumption and provided air conditions using a transient system simulation software (TRNSYS). In t...
