Title
ASIM: Solar Energy Availability Model for Wireless Sensor Networks
Abstract
Solar irradiance prediction is a major issue in energy harvesting enabled WSNs. In this paper, we use Markov chains of increasing order to propose a new model - referred to as ASIM - for predicting solar irradiance patterns. Cornerstone of the proposed model is the determination of the state dependencies of the underlying Markov chains. The ASIM model is derived from a comprehensive solar radiation data set of four different locations around the globe. Our trace driven performance evaluation reveals that the ASIM model predicts the solar irradiance pattern very accurately - Normalized RMSE as low as $0.1$ - as the order of the underlying Markov model increases. We also present a mechanism to reduce the implementation complexity thus making the model amenable for implementation in wireless sensor networks.
