Using GIS to deploy a climatological solar radiation model
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) developed the Climatological Solar Radiation (CSR) model to estimate climatological averages of daily-total solar radiation at a national scale. The necessary spatial data preprocessing and preparation, as well as model validation, were previously undertaken independently from the CSR model execution using standalone and manual techniques. NREL's Geographic Information System (GIS) has offered the opportunity to deploy the CSR model in an integrated modeling application framework that facilitates the iterative execution and processing of data both required by the model and based on model results. Collaborating with Innovative GIS Solutions, Inc. (IGIS), NREL has developed an integrated application that allows NREL researchers easy access to advanced GIS capabilities in a coherent and unified application environment.
