TL;DR: An approach to predict regional PV power output based on forecasts up to three days ahead provided by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) and an approach to derive weather specific prediction intervals for irradiance forecasts are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the HELIOSAT method applied to derive surface solar irradiance from satellite images is described and shown examples of applications: the use of daylight in buildings, the generation of correlated time series of solar irradiances and temperature as input data for simulations of solar energy systems and a short-term forecast of sun irradiance which can be used in intelligent building control techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, three independent validations of global horizontal irradiance (GHI) multi-day forecast models were conducted in the US, Canada and Europe, and two models are common to the three validation efforts: the ECMWF global model and the GFS-driven WRF mesoscale model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use satellite images as a data source for short-term forecasting of solar irradiance, which is an important issue for many fields of solar energy applications.

TL;DR: A modified up-scaling approach is introduced, modelling the spatial distribution of the nominal power with a resolution of 1° × 1°, which is based on forecasts of the global model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Forecasts (ECMWF).
