Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing renewable energy is considered a reasonable countermeasure against global warming. Solar energy is developed most rapidly. The accurate forecasting/prediction of solar energy is crucial to the security and high-performance of the industry. And with the enlargement of the scale of solar farms, the effect of microclimates is gaining more concentration from the public and government. This Special Issue aims to collect papers on advances in these fields to support the progress of the industry, and to setup a platform for researchers to communicate. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Solar radiation forecast/prediction at different time scales with physics models or AI;
- The characteristics of solar radiation by ground-based and space-based observation;
- The micro-climatic and ecological effect of solar energy development;
- The coordinated development of solar energy and eco-environment.
