Method and system for predicting cloud movement

A prediction system 102 for predicting solar irradiance based on cloud characteristics is presented. The system 102 includes a sky imager 114 that includes a customized lens 116 configured to capture one or more substantially planar images of the sky. The prediction system further includes an image...

Zusammenfassung:A prediction system 102 for predicting solar irradiance based on cloud characteristics is presented. The system 102 includes a sky imager 114 that includes a customized lens 116 configured to capture one or more substantially planar images of the sky. The prediction system further includes an image processor 118 coupled to the sky imager 114 and configured to process the one or more substantially planar images. Moreover, the prediction system includes a computing system 119 coupled to the image processor 118 and configured to detect cloud characteristics based on the one or more substantially planar images, and predict the solar irradiance based on the cloud characteristics. Methods and non-transitory computer readable medium configured to perform the method for predicting power output of one or more solar panels 101 in a solar plant 100 based on cloud characteristics are also presented.
