Abstract: Methods of operating solar tracking apparatuses are described. For example, a method includes determining a minimum amount of energy required to move the solar tracking apparatus from a first position to a second position. An available radiance is estimated for a solar resource coupled to the solar tracking apparatus. The solar tracking apparatus is moved from the first position to the second position prior to a point in time when the energy derivable from the available radiance is less than the minimum amount of energy required to move the solar tracking apparatus from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: Adherence to flux or resultant measurable parameter limits, ranges, or patterns can be achieved by directing heliostat mounted mirrors to focus on aiming points designated on the surface of a solar receiver. Different heliostats can be directed to different aiming points, and a heliostat can be directed to different aiming points at different times. The cumulative flux distribution resulting from directing a plurality of heliostats to any aiming point on a receiver surface can be predicted by using statistical methods to calculate the expected beam projection for each individual heliostat or alternatively for a group of heliostats. Control of the heliostats in a solar power system can include designating aiming points on a receiver from time to time and assigning heliostats to aiming points from time to time in accordance with an optimization goal.

Abstract: A method for generating temporal solar irradiance values for a selected area. Binary format hillshade files are generated for selected azimuth and altitude points on the Sun's path for selected time points for the area. Data in the hillshade files is reclassified into reclassified files, on basis of the selected time points relative to the solar radiation data. The reclassified files are then summed to generate a set of normalized reclassified files, each representing a selected intermediate interval. The values for each corresponding one of the cells in the set of normalized reclassified files are summed to generate an irradiance-weighted shade file. The hillshade files are summed by inclusively OR-ing corresponding values for each of the cells in each of the hillshade files to generate respective composite files for each said selected intermediate interval. The composite files are then summed to generate a summed shade/time frequency file in which each data point therein represents the frequency of repetition of corresponding cells in the hillshade files over a selected upper interval of time. Each data point value in the irradiance-weighted shade file is then divided by the corresponding data point value in the frequency file to generate a file having solar access values for the upper interval, relative to the intermediate interval, for the selected area.

Abstract: Disclosed is a joint panel device in which photothermal-type panels (61) and photovoltaic-type panels (62) are combined and in which the ratio between photothermal power and photovoltaic power can be varied. For this purpose, the panels are arranged in the form of slats, for example, which can be adjusted like a blind in order to expose one or the other type of panels to solar radiation. Also disclosed is a method for distributing the power of a power supply system to the three types of power consumption, i.e. heating, hot water, and power generation. According to said method, the power supplied is allotted to consumption, storage, or conversion into another type of energy based on a prediction about the temporal availability of the amount of solar power by taking into account weather data and a prediction about the utilization of each of the three types of power consumption based on empirical values in such a way that the utilization ratio is maximized.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the operation of solar power plants such as Photo Voltaic (PV) or Concentrated Solar thermal Power (CSP) plants. The invention involves recursive updating of estimated parameters pertaining to pre-defined and physically motivated cloud evolution models that are instantiated and assigned to clouds identified in images taken by a ground-based visible-light camera. Identification of clouds, which includes assigning individual pixels of an image to one or several identified clouds, and selection of matching cloud models invoke some elaborate complexity beyond conventional pixel-wise image processing. This ultimately allows to predict a cloud-wise, as opposed to a pixel-wise, evolution based on cloud evolution models with a limited number of estimated parameters.
