Cloud Monitoring

1.Overview of Cloud Monitoring

Cloud Monitoring is an automated camera system that provides daytime hemispheric sky images that are used to measure the proportion of the sky view that is covered by clouds.With the development of natural science, cloud observations continue to be valued.In the early days, professionals needed to observe the clouds through the naked eye and manually record the observation results.The accuracy of the observation results varies greatly depending on the observer's experience and technical level.In order to reduce labor costs, improve observation accuracy, and achieve unattended automatic observation of the sky around the clock, Cloud Monitoring has gradually replaced manual observation.Cloud Monitoring has combined with the application of machine deep learning algorithms to greatly improve the degree of automated observation of the cloud and enhance people's research and utilization of solar energy resources.

2.Cloud Monitoring function description

FT-TK2 Cloud Monitoring is a new generation of fully automatic, full-color sky imaging equipment independently developed by our company.The device has a 220° super large visual angle.Through IOT intelligent network technology, the image information and weather data obtained in real time can be transmitted to the back-end computing center.After the data is processed by quality control and AI image recognition model, the real-time image data, cloud coverage, light transmittance and additional weather data will be provided to the user terminal in various forms.
