Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/105244
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to comparatively accurately predict the location, speed, etc., of shadows cast by clouds. Provided is a shadow location predict system for predicting the location and size of cloud shadows, comprising: a plurality of cloud detection devices (2) which are positioned apart from one another, and which are for detecting clouds; and a predict device (1), which is connected to the plurality of cloud detection devices (2) via a communication network (CN1). The predict device (1) acquires cloud detection information relating to the detection of clouds from a prescribed plurality of the cloud detection devices (2) among the cloud detection devices (2). On the basis of a plurality of cloud detection information, the predict device (1) respectively computes prescribed base data including cloud height, spread, movement direction, and movement speed, and, on the basis of these prescribed base data, computes the location and size of shadows which clouds (4) cast on the ground.
