Soiling Forecast of Parabolic Trough Solar Energy Collectors

Announcement: page 12
This thesis will be conducted in collaboration with the Scientific Computing Center (SCC).

• Predict soiling (deposition of dust) on parabolic trough collectors, i.e. a type of concentrating solar power plan, using weather data.
• Explore improvement of predictions using conventional numerical aerosol forecasting and AI-based forecasting.
• Determine quantities most critical for forecasting.

Start date: as soon as possible
Thesis type: M.Sc. thesis
