Vertical Illuminance Measurement for Clear Skies in Tehran

Spectral polarization of clear and hazy coastal skies.

Linear polarization of the clear daytime sky has often been measured as a spectrally integrated or quasi-monochromatic variable, but seldom as a spectral one. So we use a hyperspectral imaging system to measure skylight polarization at high spectral and angular resolutions for clear and hazy skies at our coastal site. The resulting polarization maps and spectra exhibit both commonalities and di...

Blue Skies: A Methodology for Data-Driven Clear Sky Modelling

Solar energy is gaining prominence across the world in response to climate change, depleting reserves, lowering costs, and favorable legislation. However, a key challenge in integrating solar power into the grid is the ability to forecast solar energy production accurately. The variability and uncertainty of solar power can negatively impact grid stability and increase the cycling costs of conv...
