The rapid digitalization of the global energy industry is already underway, and artificial intelligence will need to be used if the world is to successfully transition toward renewable energy
Norway's Glint Solar has developed cloud-based software that finds suitable surfaces for solar parks. It analyzes factors such as the distance to the grid or substations, topography, soil depth, and solar
Glint Solar's goal is to help customers find more valuable sites for solar installations; competition for sites is on the rise as demand for renewables is up.
New tech to identify best locations for floating PV
Norway s Glint Solar and the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute have developed an algorithm that is able to automatically calculate wave heights and wind directions at potential locations for floating PV arrays. It considers the geometry of the water surface as well as 40 years of data on wind conditions.The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) and Norway-based technology company Glint Solar have jointly developed a technique for the assessment of wind and wave conditions at locations where floating PV arrays have to be deployed. We have made a model that uses satellite-derived wind data and .
