May 2021 – Spatial irradiance estimation in a thermosolar power plant by a mobile robot sensor network

Spatial irradiance estimation in a thermosolar power plant by a mobile robot sensor network Javier García Martin, José M. Maestre, and Eduardo F. Camacho. Abstract An algorithm for mapping Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) in thermosolar power plants using a Mobile Robotic Sensor Network (RSN) is presented. The algorithm selects measurement spots and allocates the RSN…
