Visual spatial attentionVisual spatial attention is a form of visual attention that involves directing attention to a location in space. Similar to its temporal counterpart visual temporal attention, these attention modules have been widely implemented in video analytics in computer vision to provide enhanced performance and human interpretable explanation of deep learning models. Spatial attention allows humans to selectively process visual information through prioritization of an area within the visual field.
Renewable energy commercializationRenewable energy commercialization involves the deployment of three generations of renewable energy technologies dating back more than 100 years. First-generation technologies, which are already mature and economically competitive, include biomass, hydroelectricity, geothermal power and heat. Second-generation technologies are market-ready and are being deployed at the present time; they include solar heating, photovoltaics, wind power, solar thermal power stations, and modern forms of bioenergy.
Rooftop solar powerA rooftop solar power system, or rooftop PV system, is a photovoltaic (PV) system that has its electricity-generating solar panels mounted on the rooftop of a residential or commercial building or structure. The various components of such a system include photovoltaic modules, mounting systems, cables, solar inverters and other electrical accessories. Rooftop mounted systems are small compared to utility-scale solar ground-mounted photovoltaic power stations with capacities in the megawatt range, hence being a form of distributed generation.
Variable renewable energyVariable renewable energy (VRE) or intermittent renewable energy sources (IRES) are renewable energy sources that are not dispatchable due to their fluctuating nature, such as wind power and solar power, as opposed to controllable renewable energy sources, such as dammed hydroelectricity or biomass, or relatively constant sources, such as geothermal power. The use of small amounts of intermittent power has little effect on grid operations. Using larger amounts of intermittent power may require upgrades or even a redesign of the grid infrastructure.
Solar powerSolar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV) or indirectly using concentrated solar power. Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and solar tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight to a hot spot, often to drive a steam turbine.
Énergie solaire photovoltaïqueL'énergie solaire photovoltaïque (ou énergie photovoltaïque ou EPV) est une énergie électrique produite à partir du rayonnement solaire grâce à des capteurs ou à des centrales solaires photovoltaïques. C'est une énergie renouvelable, car le Soleil est considéré comme une source inépuisable à l'échelle du temps humain. En fin de vie, un panneau photovoltaïque produit de 19 à l'énergie nécessaire à sa fabrication et à son recyclage.
Irradiation solairevignette|Carte mondiale de l'irradiation solaire globale (annuelle et journalière moyenne). vignette|Carte de l'irradiation solaire en Europe. L'irradiation solaire est une grandeur radiométrique qui mesure la quantité d'énergie solaire reçue par unité de surface. Elle peut être exprimée en kilowattheures par mètre carré (kWh/m2) ou en joules par mètre carré (J/m2) dans le Système international d'unités.
Attentionthumb|250px|Jeune fille se concentrant sur une tâche manuelle ; le regard, la respiration, la position du corps et en particulier des mains et le contrôle neuro musculaire sont mobilisés de concert pour assurer la précision du mouvement L'attention est la faculté de l'esprit de se consacrer à un objet : d'utiliser ses capacités à l'observation, l'étude, le jugement d'une chose quelle qu'elle soit, ou encore à la pratique d'une action.
100% renewable energy100% renewable energy means getting all energy from renewable resources. The endeavor to use 100% renewable energy for electricity, heating, cooling and transport is motivated by climate change, pollution and other environmental issues, as well as economic and energy security concerns. Shifting the total global primary energy supply to renewable sources requires a transition of the energy system, since most of today's energy is derived from non-renewable fossil fuels.
Atmospheric modelIn atmospheric science, an atmospheric model is a mathematical model constructed around the full set of primitive, dynamical equations which govern atmospheric motions. It can supplement these equations with parameterizations for turbulent diffusion, radiation, moist processes (clouds and precipitation), heat exchange, soil, vegetation, surface water, the kinematic effects of terrain, and convection. Most atmospheric models are numerical, i.e. they discretize equations of motion.
