Funded Activity Summary

Solar Photovoltaics forecasting for efficient power management. This ARC LIEF aims to establish a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) facility to support leading-edge Australian research in solar power generation management and atmospheric monitoring, bringing together three key topics of the century: renewable power generation, big data and climate change. Real-time monitoring, control and supply/demand forecast for solar power management require not only extensive sensor data from solar plant devices but also accurate and location specific cloud data, with accurate solar forecasts being absolutely critical to securely manage large-scale solar plants. The proposed LiDAR provides powerful, real-time information for short-term and long-term solar forecasting and investigating clear air dynamics.
