Spatial irradiance estimation in a thermosolar power plant by a mobile robot sensor network. Solar Energy, 15, 735-744.0038-092Xhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/108944An algorithm for mapping Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) in thermosolar power plants using a Mobile Robotic Sensor Network (RSN) is presented. The algorithm selects measurement spots and allocates the RSN accordingly to carry out the dynamic estimation of DNI. A generic thermosolar power plant with a fleet of vehicles is used as a simulated case study to assess the performance of the algorithm. The results show that the proposed method allows us to obtain a spatial estimation of the DNI that could improve the performance of the plant, and that outperforms estimations based on a single pyrheliometer.application/pdf10 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Multi-Robot SystemsTask planningSensor networksinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2021.03.038
