Database Overview
Calibration, deflectometry, kinematic, weather
Data Repository
Our web page offers an HTML-browsable version of the data from the concentrating solar power plant in Jülich, Germany, with the global power plant id (GPPD) WRI1030197. A programmatic API is provided in our repository as a PyTorch dataset and STAC client.
Data Types
Calibration
RGB photos of the focused sunlight spots of heliostats on dedicated calibration receivers.
This measurement method allows the assessment of reflective surface properties. PAINT contains strip-pattern deflectometries of the power plant's heliostats, enabling identification of surface deformations.
Medium-quality data from plant-local sensors and high-quality data from the DWD weather station in Aachen-Orsbach. Measured quantities include short- and long-wave radiation, global surface irradiance, sunshine duration, cloud cover, humidity, vapor pressure, and visibility range.
