This paper describes the application of a new method to calculate energies of solar active regions and sunspots in satellites images. Digital images from the Solar & Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite are used I n this study and energies are calculated using the Ising model, which has been modified for our application. The new algorithm has been integrated with our existing ASAP system (Automate Solar Activity Prediction) [1] [2] and extensive testing carried out. The results obtained are promising and will help enhance the accuracy of our automated real-time solar flare prediction.
