PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR ENERGY
Cloud Sensor
TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL (TRL): 8
IP STATUS:

Value Proposition

System that integrates a sensor and an energy production calculation tool designed for environments with variable meteorological conditions and sensitivity to cloud movement.
The sensor determines the speed and direction of clouds as they pass over photovoltaic installations. Using this information, the system estimates short-term plant production, enabling improved management of hybrid generation systems (PV with storage).

Added Value

A complete and simple system that provides valuable information to enhance the manageability of electricity generation during periods of unstable irradiance.

Market Applications

The target market for this system includes companies operating photovoltaic plants. However, plant owners, developers, and managers are the segments most interested in this technology.

TRL

The sensor has been tested in a controlled environment (TRL 6) and is currently undergoing scale-up for testing in a real operational environment (TRL 8).
