• Estimating solar irradiation in the Arctic 

      Babar, Bilal; Boström, Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-22)
      Solar radiation data plays an important role in pre-feasibility studies of solar electricity and/or thermal system installations. Measured solar radiation data is scarcely available due to the high cost of installing and maintaining high quality solar radiation sensors (pyranometers). Indirect measured radiation data received from geostationary satellites is unreliable at latitudes above 60 degrees ...
    • Evaluating CM-SAF solar radiation CLARA-A1 and CLARA-A2 datasets in Scandinavia 

      Babar, Bilal; Graversen, Rune; Boström, Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-26)
      Estimating/retrieving solar radiation through satellite-based remote sensing provides larger spatial coverage compared to other methods. Accurate estimates of incoming solar radiation is important when planning new solar energy installations. In addition, these estimates are also used in climate studies. Geostationary satellites are ideal for estimating solar radiation but cannot be used for high ...
