Determination of the potential of solar energy, solar plant design, and grid integration based on LiDAR data processing in northern border region

This proposal introduces advancements in the state-of-the-art solar energy industry by using LiDAR-based location characterization. The distribution of solar energy across the northern border region is highlighted using LiDAR data processing. This methodology is proposed to scientifically derive the tilt and azimuth angles of the target location and to quantify solar direct, diffuse, and global horizontal irradiance for regions of interest. The cloud points of LiDAR give a new concept about distribution of solar panels and their orientation using tilt and azimuth angles. This method is strategically optimized the use and adoption of solar incentives according to the grid age and its vulnerabilities to solar variability in the region. The outcomes will enable the formulation of typical meteorological data, measured or forecasted time series of irradiances over distributed assets.
