Cloud fraction nowcasting method for PV applications

Researchers in China have developed a novel way to predict the cloud coverage of PV plants. The method uses geostationary satellite and recurrent-neural networks.Researchers from China have developed a novel way to nowcast the cloud coverage of PV plants. It consists of a new algorithm that uses machine learning techniques for processing and taking geostationary satellite images as input. "We are committed to developing a daytime hourly intra-day cloud fraction (CF) prediction algorithm for small areas over PV plants," they explained. "our primary objective is to develop an innovative and easy-to-promote ...
