3D cloud detection and tracking system for solar forecast using multiple sky imagers
Zhenzhou Peng,Zhenzhou Peng,Dantong Yu,Dantong Yu,Dong Huang,John Heiser,Shinjae Yoo,Paul Kalb +7 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that this system can (1) robustly detect clouds and track layers, and (2) extract the significant global and local features for obtaining stable irradiance forecasts with short forecast horizons from the obtained images.

Sue Ellen Haupt,Branko Kosovic,Tara Jensen,Jeffrey K. Lazo,Jared A. Lee,Pedro A. Jiménez,James Cowie,Gerry Wiener,Tyler McCandless,Matthew A. Rogers,Steven D. Miller,Manajit Sengupta,Yu Xie,Laura M. Hinkelman,Paul Kalb,John Heiser +15 more
TL;DR: A team of researchers from the public, private, and academic sectors partnered to develop and assess a new solar power forecasting system, Sun4Cast, focused on improving decision-making for utilities and independent system operators, ultimately resulting in improved grid stability and cost savings for consumers.
A hybrid approach to estimate the complex motions of clouds in sky images
TL;DR: A hybrid tracking framework to incorporate the strength of both block matching and optical flow models is proposed and demonstrates its superior efficiency in several real cloud image datasets by lowering at least 15% Mean Absolute Error between predicted images and ground-truth images.

Process for the encapsulation and stabilization of radioactive, hazardous and mixed wastes
P. Colombo,Paul Kalb,John Heiser +2 more
- 07 Nov 1994
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for encapsulating and stabilizing radioactive, hazardous and mixed wastes in a modified sulfur cement composition is presented. But the method is not suitable for the handling of large quantities of waste.
