Yearly GHI solar map UAE&Qatar 3km Masdar Institute 2005
This map is part of the UAE solar atlas developed by the Research Center for Renewable Energy Mapping and Assessment (ReCREMA) at Masdar Institute in Abu Dhabi. The UAE solar atlas utilizes satellite imagery through a robust ANN model to map the solar potential across the country. Estimated irradiance is subsequently validated against independent ground data. Direct normal irradiance (DNI), diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) and global horizontal irradiance (GHI) are produced at a 3 km spatial resolution and in a near real-time manner (updated every 15 min). Hourly, daily, monthly and yearly irradiation maps for all three components are derived as the final product.
The UAE Solar Atlas report with a detailed explanation of the methodology and results is available at http://atlas.masdar.ac.ae/docs/ReCREMA_UAE_Solar Atlas_Report.pdf
