[A] MITIGATION OF SOLAR INTERMITTENCY
Technology Offers

Overview

The technology provides a highly accurate solar energy forecasting. It uses a network of sensors which have advanced computer vision and machine learning algorithms embedded within them, providing a highly accurate 30 minutes ahead forecast of cloud shadowing events every 10 seconds. Using this forecast, the technology enables solar power systems to better manage the impacts of meteorological clouds. The technology can be used anywhere. Solar Energy is being produced from Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology including: large scale grid connected solar farms, renewable remote area power systems, distributed solar systems and smart homes of the future. The technology has been developed and validated by Australia's leading research agency. It enables the full generation capacity of solar power systems in all sizes to utilise its maximum capacity and enables solar energy to realise its full potential in the energy system of the future.
