A system for measurement of monochromatic attenuation for each wavelength of the spectrum, understood as such the attenuation at a wavelength of the spectrum with the spectral width provided by the measurement equipment, of the spectral attenuation in the spectral range of measurement, understood as such the set of monochromatic attenuations at all the wavelengths throughout the spectral range of measurement, and the total attenuation, understood as such the attenuation calculated by the integration of the spectral attenuation in the spectral range of measurement weighted with the solar spectrum. A method for measurement, providing measurement of attenuation in the entire spectral range for the best energy system efficiency evaluation and for achieving a differential measurement of meteorological phenomena causing the attenuation, providing relevant information for the meteorological forecast in this specific field, which can be used for evaluating the attenuation phenomenon for solar plants site selection and for operating plants.

System for the real-time high precision measurement of the atmospheric attenuation of electromagnetic radiation from at least one source and method for measurement

A characterization device, system, and method for characterizing reflective elements from the light beams reflected in it. The device has two variable-gain detectors on a common structure, which can be portable or fixed, and for capturing light beams reflected by a reflective element, and from at least one processor characterizing the quality of the reflected light beams and evaluating the quality of the reflective element from its reflective capacity. Each detector has a lens for increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the reflected beam or beams, a light sensor on which the beam or beams captured by the lens are focused, an automatic gain selection system associated with the optical sensor, and a data communication device associated with the device itself. A characterization system and a characterization method for characterizing reflective elements from the quality of the light beams reflected in at least one reflective element or heliostat.
