    Model description

    • A set of stand-alone applications which create or augment nowcast irradiance forecasts

    Intended use

    • Applications are used in the SunCast system to produce nowcast irradiance forecasts

    Key assumptions

    • Because these applications include prior Intellectual Property (IP), only the portions of the code developed specifically for SunCast are included.
    • The following libraries may be referenced in Makefiles but are not included in the release due to the previous restriction:
      • site_list: handles the management of site identifiers and locations
      • log: handles application logging
      • model_reg: manages and computes regressor variables
      • ncf: provides an I/O wrapper to netCDF files
      • nxncf: provides I/O wrapper to netCDF files
      • tdrp: a configuration file library
    • Since these applications do not include the IP-protected libraries, they will not build from source
