ACTIVE INTERFACES. From 3D geodata to BIPV yield estimation: towards an urban-scale simulation workflow

In order to meet the requirements of the Energy Strategy 2050, there is the need for a large-scale energy retrofit of the current building stock combined with the use of solar active systems, in particular BIPV. However, existing tools to assess the potent ...

An unsupervised method for estimating the global horizontal irradiance from photovoltaic power measurements

Lorenzo Nespoli, Vasco Medici

The precise calculation of solar irradiance is pivotal for forecasting the electric power generated by PV plants. However, on-ground measurements are expensive and are generally not performed for small and medium-sized PV plants. Satellite-based services r ...
