====== Project Release: UCSSPM ====== The [[lab:ucsspm]] is an open-source clear-sky prediction model, incorporating math algorithms based on latest research by the //Environmental and Water Resources Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers// and a few veteran but still valid and publicly available //NOAA/NASA// computations. It has been around for a while but received a major revision, code refactoring and got bumped to primary project status, since it's becoming an essential tool in predicting Apollo-NG deployment location feasibility. UCSSPM - Unified Clear-Sky Solar-Output Prediction Model - Open Algorithms for an open future A long-term test setup collecting simulation and reference measurement data for the [[mission:tech:odyssey]] and [[mission:tech:aquarius]] has been set up and will be published soon as well. The first results look quite promising - it's definitely on the right track to become a unified, reliable and open clear-sky global solar radiation prediction model. We are looking forward for you, to use, review, verify and enhance it as well. {{tag>software solar energy prediction ucsspm algorithm python research}} {{keywords>Apollo-NG apollo next generation hackerspace hacker space development makerspace fablab diy community open-resource open resource mobile hackbus software solar energy prediction ucsspm algorithm python research}} ~~DISCUSSION~~
