Development and validation of a new efficient SRTM DEM-based horizon model combined with optimization and error prediction methods

Abstract: Several post-processing methods have been developed over the last years in order to take into consideration topography within satellite-based solar radiation maps using digital elevation models (DEM). If the main part of these procedures is to estimate the obstructed horizon around each DEM point of a given region so as to consider terrain-based shading effects, the size of the area can also limit this implementation. That is why we have developed a new efficient horizon model based on the DEM retrieved during… Show more

“…In line with other algorithms (Dozier et al, 1981;Dozier and Frew, 1990;Pillot et al, 2016), we compute the horizon for a location by splitting the azimuth angle into discrete sectors and sample along the centrelines. By default, we use 360 sectors.…”

“…The specific parameters are presented in Table 2. In addition, the digital elevation model (DEM) data was used to simulate and remove the topographic phase contribution, which was from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission-3 (SRTM) DEM at a spatial resolution of 90 m provided by the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) [25].…”
