This pilot service was developed in the framework of the GEO-CRADLE project under the grant agreement No 690133 (HORIZON 2020). The objective of this feasibility study is the operational application of the Solar Energy Nowcasting SystEm for the PRE-TECT campaign.
SENSE is capable of producing maps of spectrally-integrated irradiances of the order of 10,000 to 100,000 pixels within 1 minute and hence provide the capability needed to serve high precision solar power applications for energy planning. Surface spectra for Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), which applies to Concentrated Solar Plants (CSP), as well as Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), which applies to PhotoVoltaic (PV) installations are produced at high resolution using input data from Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) for aerosols impact and from Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfRared Imager (SEVIRI) onboard the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) for clouds impact. The technical background of this system is described here.
The Solar Energy Nowcasting SystEm (SENSE) produces operational maps of Crete, for the duration of the PRE-TECT campaign/project, at high resolution (1nm, 0.05 x 0.05 degrees, 15 min) and is based on the synergy of Neural Networks, Radiative Transfer simulations and real-time satellite retrievals.
