Photovoltaic area detection of solar power station

How robust is physics-based detection for PV power plants?

The robustness of the developed and tested novel physics-based detection approach for PV power plants paves the way for more refined investigations towards PV type differentiation and the analysis of the efficiency of such modules. W. Heldens and M. Schroedter-Homscheidt conceived the idea.

What is the information gap in distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays?

Here, we focus on the information gap in distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays, of which there is limited public data on solar PV deployments at small geographic scales. We created a dataset of solar PV arrays to initiate and develop the process of automatically identifying solar PV locations using remote sensing imagery.

Can remote sensing be used to detect PV in diverse landscapes?

However, the complexity of land cover types can bring much difficulty in PV identification. This study investigated detecting PV in diverse landscapes using freely accessible remote sensing data, aiming to evaluate the transferability of PV detection between rural and urbanized coastal area.

Can remote sensing derived data be used for large-scale photovoltaic power stations?

Scientific Data 11, Article number: 198 (2024) Cite this article We provide a remote sensing derived dataset for large-scale ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) power stations in China of 2020, which has high spatial resolution of 10 meters.

Can remote sensing data detect PV installation in urbanized coastal areas?

The performance of PV detection using medium resolution satellite images in highly urbanized coastal areas remains to be explored. Therefore, this study aims to detect PV installation in diverse landscapes using open multi-source remote sensing data.

Can solar photovoltaic power generation be mapped using open satellite data?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is a vital renewable energy to achieve carbon neutrality. Previous studies which explored mapping PV using open satellite data mainly focus in remote areas. However, the complexity of land cover types can bring much difficulty in PV identification.
