Energy Report

Users

  • renewable energy applications
  • Solar energy end-users?

Documents had to include:

  1. Specification of Earth Observation parameters needed by users for renewable energy applications
  2. reference to EO currently in use for applications with indication of adequacy of the parameter characteristics

Parameter Characteristics:

  • Coverage/Extent
  • Temporal Resolution
  • Spatial Resolution (xyz)
  • Timeliness
  • Accuracy/Precision

Method:

  1. Catagorized by energy type and region
  2. extracted all mentions of EO parameter information by energy type.
    1. priority EOs are required across multiple energy types
    2. exposed adequacy where mentioned.
    3. desired parameter characteristics also mentioned
  3. Docs that id'd user needs directly were considered primary sources and others were considered secondary.
  4. Noted derived and measured parameters
