Description

Data and MATLAB code for evaluating albedo change and radiative forcing from roof PV integration in Delft.

This dataset contains the data and scripts created for the project studying the impacts of urban photovoltaic (PV) integration on radiative forcing. The objective of this research is to employ a high-resolution approach to quantify both positive and negative RF effects of distributed urban rooftop PV systems with open-source LiDAR and geo-referenced material data. The city of Delft is used as a study case. The scripts are divided into three parts:

  1. Albedo simulation before and after PV integration;

  2. Annual PV energy calculation;

  3. Positive and negative radiative forcing calculation.
