چکیده

We test two cloud products: Optimal Cloud Analysis (OCA) of EUMETSAT, and APOLLO from the German Aerospace Center (DLR), for the assessment of surface downwelling solar irradiance (SSI). Each product is input to the Heliosat-4 method, and the SSI estimates are compared to accurate measurements performed in the Baseline Radiation Network (BSRN). The performances obtained by the two products are compared. The overall performance of Heliosat-4 method by using different cloud products is given and conclusions on the benefit of each product for an operational Heliosat-4 are drawn.

Assessment of Heliosat-4 surface solar irradiance derived on the basis of SEVIRI-APOLLO cloud products

The Heliosat-4 method developed by the MINES ParisTech and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), aims at estimating surface downwelling solar irradiance (SSI). It benefits from advanced products derived from recent Earth Observation missions, among which the cloud products are crucial for the assessment of SSI. The APOLLO cloud product provided by DLR includes abundant information about the cloud ...

Influence of 3D cloud effects on satellite derived solar irradiance estimation

3D cloud effects influencing the surface solar irradiance are investigated using the radiative transfer model SHDOM. The calculations are motivated by improving the Heliosat method which is used for the estimation of surface solar irradiance from satellite data. The modelled results lead to the assumption that it is possible to find a correction for moderate viewing and solar geometries for the...

Short term forecasting of solar radiation based on satellite data

Forecasting of solar irradiance will become a major issue in the future integration of solar energy resources into existing energy supply structures. Fluctuations of solar irradiance have a significant influence on electric power generation by solar energy systems. An efficient use of solar energy conversion processes has to account for this behaviour with respective operating strategies. Examp...
