This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the social and environmental determinants of solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment rates in Colorado, USA. Using 652,795 satellite imagery and computer vision frameworks based on a convolutional…
This work deals with the problem of estimating a photovoltaic generation forecasting model in scenarios where measurements of meteorological variables (i.e. solar irradiance and temperature) at the plant site are not available. A novel…
One of the goals of machine learning is to eliminate tedious and arduous repetitive work. The manual and semi-automatic classification of millions of hours of solar wind data from multiple missions can be replaced by automatic algorithms…
We provide a methodology for estimating the losses due to shade in power generation data sets produced by real-world photovoltaic (PV) systems. We focus this work on estimating shade loss from data that are unlabeled, i.e. power…
In this paper, we discuss and review how combined multi-view imagery from satellite to street-level can benefit scene analysis. Numerous works exist that merge information from remote sensing and images acquired from the ground for tasks…
In the operation & maintenance (O&M) of photovoltaic (PV) plants, the early identification of failures has become crucial to maintain productivity and prolong components' life. Of all defects, cell-level anomalies can lead to serious…
Non-availability of reliable and sustainable electric power is a major problem in the developing world. Renewable energy sources like solar are not very lucrative in the current stage due to various uncertainties like weather, storage, land…
With increasing concerns of climate change, renewable resources such as photovoltaic (PV) have gained popularity as a means of energy generation. The smooth integration of such resources in power system operations is enabled by accurate…
Electroluminescence (EL) imaging is a useful modality for the inspection of photovoltaic (PV) modules. EL images provide high spatial resolution, which makes it possible to detect even finest defects on the surface of PV modules. However,…
Solar photovoltaic power generation has achieved grid parity in a number of countries during the last decade. This revolution has begun in countries where the solar radiation intensity is not very high. Solar resource maps created by a…
Parameter estimation procedures provide valuable guidance in the understanding and improvement of organic solar cells and other devices. They often rely on one-dimensional models, but in the case of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) designs, it is…
Renewable Energies (RE) have gained more attention in recent years since they offer clean and sustainable energy. One of the major sustainable development goals (SDG-7) set by the United Nations (UN) is to achieve affordable and clean…
In modern smart grids, the proliferation of communication-enabled distributed energy resource (DER) systems has increased the surface of possible cyber-physical attacks. Attacks originating from the distributed edge devices of DER system,…
Solar image analysis relies on the detection of coronal holes for predicting disruptions to earth's magnetic field. The coronal holes act as sources of solar wind that can reach the earth. Thus, coronal holes are used in physical models for…
The ability to accurately forecast power generation from renewable sources is nowadays recognised as a fundamental skill to improve the operation of power systems. Despite the general interest of the power community in this topic, it is not…
Since the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) began recording ~ 1 TB of data per day, there has been an increased need to automatically extract features and events for further analysis. Here we compare the overall detection performance,…
Missing values are common in photovoltaic (PV) power data, yet the uncertainty they induce is not propagated into predictive distributions. We develop a framework that incorporates missing-data uncertainty into short-term PV forecasting by…
Microgrids, as small-scale islandable power systems, are considered as viable promotors of renewable energy resources. In particular, microgrids can efficiently integrate solar photovoltaic (PV) as the deployment of this customer-deployed…
The number of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems has significantly increased in recent years around the globe, including in Australia. This trend is anticipated to continue in the next few years. Given their high share of generation in power…
When cloud layers cover photovoltaic (PV) panels, the amount of power the panels produce fluctuates rapidly. Therefore, to maintain enough energy on a power grid to match demand, utilities companies rely on reserve power sources that…
