Abstract

âº Artificial neural network (ANN) ensemble based model for solar irradiance retrieval in a desert. âº Satellite thermal images as inputs provide beam and diffuse irradiance at 15min & 3km resolutions. âº The global horizontal irradiance is then computed from beam and diffuse irradiance estimates. âº Developed model could be used for near real-time beam, diffuse and global irradiance maps. âº Archived satellite images could be used to derive historical irradiation maps for past years.
