Solar Energy Resource Management for Electricity Generation from Local Level to Global Scale

This book describes latest development in the new field of solar resource knowledge management as a reflection of the growing needs of renewable energy market. The chapters discuss the availability of new primary data, basic concepts of research trends and approaches developed for providing value-added products in an operational mode. Based on the experience from commercial and aid-providing sphere, the barriers and solutions for overcoming them are identified. The integrated solutions based on exploiting geographical information systems outline directions for map-based decision-making and management of distributed energy systems. The final contributions point out that the recent developments gave an impetus for complementing the traditional applications of Earth-observation data by renewable energy programs.
