Energy supply to rural areas is a big challenge for many countries, especially for those with less income and sparse settlements where main grid supply is not feasible. Solar energy is the most abundant, clean and readily available natural energy source. Open source technology and low cost UAV data can be used to assess solar potential on rooftops so that main grid supply will not be required for small settlements. This research aimed to develop procedures and workflows to address this problem. A test site in Muenster WWU (Leonardo campus) was used to test the model because both UAV and highly accurate laser scanning data are readily available. Solar global irradiance data was also available for Germany. After pre-processing of raw UAV images, rooftop extraction model was designed to extract rooftops using RGB images and 3D data. Solar energy calculation model was used to compute the potential for each raster pixel for extracted rooftops. Open Drone Map, Docker and QGIS were all open source software used to run this workflow. This model can be implemented on different regions under some constraints. Accuracy assessment gave insight of the accuracy of this GIS model, so that future improvements can be made.Prinz, TorstenKnoth, ChristianCabral, Pedro da Costa BritoRUNKhan, Muhammad Gulraiz2020-03-17T14:31:33Z2020-01-312020-01-31T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/94401TID:202458148enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T04:42:22Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/94401Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:37:56.817231Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
