Abstract: A system and method for identifying the solar potential of rooftops. In one embodiment, solar-potential criteria and three-dimensional spatial data and tabular data, for a selected area including parcels on which the rooftops are located, are entered into a geographic information system. Three-dimensional aerial data of the selected area, including the rooftops in the selected area, is collected. Solar azimuth and altitude angles are calculated for regular intervals to generate shadow simulation data representing shadows cast onto the rooftops by obstructions. The shadow simulation data is intersected with the XYZ coordinates of the rooftop shapes, as determined from the aerial data, to generate rooftop shade patterns for specific intervals over a specific period of time. The tabular data and the rooftop shade patterns are then used to determine addresses and per-parcel specifications of buildings having said rooftops meeting the solar-potential criteria.

Abstract: A road-building method in which layers of insulation (2) are laid alongside a road surface (1). In hot periods the road acts as a heat collector and transfers heat to the ground under the insulation (2). In cold periods, heat is transferred from the ground under the insulation (2) to the road surface (1).

Abstract: To optimally arrange roofing material integrated solar battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on a roof setting surface, an arrangement range in which the solar battery modules can be arranged on the roof setting surface is determined. An arranging direction of the solar battery modules is determined. The number of solar battery modules which can be arranged almost horizontally in a line in the determined arranging direction and within the arrangement range is calculated. Solar battery modules of a line in a number not more than the calculated number are combined to form a solar battery module group. The solar battery module groups are arranged to set a center of the solar battery module group within the determined arrangement range and near a line almost vertically dividing the surface into two parts. The above operations are repeated a number of times corresponding to the number of lines of solar battery module groups which can be vertically arranged in the determined arranging direction and within the arrangement range.

Abstract: Concepts of distributed solar energy prediction imaging are described. In one embodiment, a solar forecast system includes a computing environment, a network, and an imaging device. Among other elements, the imaging device can include a wide-angle optical component, an imaging assembly, and a computing device. The computing device of the imaging device can capture an array of images using the imaging assembly, combine the array of images into a combined-resolution image, transform the combined-resolution image into a transformed image based on a calibration transformation matrix associated with the wide-angle optical component, identify and track cloud features in the transformed image, and generate a solar forecast using ray tracing based on the cloud features. The imaging device can also transmit the solar forecast to the computing environment via the network, and the computing environment can fuse solar forecast data from several imaging device into a distributed geographic area forecast.

Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur Prognose einer drohenden Abschattung einer Photovoltaikanlage durch Wolkenbildung oder Wolkenbewegung vorgestellt. Dabei wird in einer ersten Ausführungsform ein Teil des Firmaments mittels einer Fischaugenoptik (50) auf die Eingangsoptik einer Digitalkamera (56) abgebildet. Es werden Pixelgruppen (70) gebildet, die einem zugeordneten Lichtintensitätsbereich entsprechen. Der örtliche Verlauf der Gruppen (70) wird dahingehend analysiert, ob er zu Abschattungen einer Photovoltaikanlage (PV1) führen kann.
Gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform wird eine Linie (111) aus dem Bereich der PV-Anlage zur Sonne (105) hin gebildet und ständig nachgeführt. Um die Linie (111) herum wird ein Bereich (113) festgelegt, innerhalb dessen sich eine Referenzlinie (117) befindet. Es wird der Durchzug von Wolken (121) über die Referenzlinie (117) analysiert.
Das Ergebnis der Analyse dient dazu, die elektrische Leistung der PV-Anlage durch Zuschalten eines Ersatzenergielieferanten auf einen Mindestwert aufzustocken oder durch Wegschalten von Verbrauchern so zu reduzieren, dass wichtige Verbraucher nicht unter einen Mindestwert an zugelieferter Energie fallen.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to build central receiver solar power plants in which the heliostat fields can be used more efficiently. To achieve said aim, a heliostat field consisting of a near field (1636) having a uniform reflector surface density ϱ of more than 60% is preferably combined with a far field (1638) whose reflector surface density ϱ decreases as the distance from the receiver increases. The invention also comprises central receiver solar power plants which consist exclusively of a near field having a uniform reflector surface density ϱ of more than 60%. The high reflector surface density ϱ in the near field (1636) and in areas of the far field (1638) is achieved by the use of heliostats having rectangular reflectors and a rigid horizontal axle suspension (FHA) or, alternatively, by heliostats having rectangular reflectors and a rigid quasipolar axle suspension (FQA). The heliostat field concentrates the solar radiation on a receiver (1610) whose target surface, aperture, thermal absorber or photovoltaic absorber has a normal vector which is directed downward to the heliostat field that extends below the receiver in the directions North, East, South and West. The receiver (1610) is mounted in a suspended manner to a support structure that extends over the heliostat field.
