Solar Radiation Forecasting Model

The prediction of hourly solar radiation data has important consequences in many solar applications (Markvart, Fragaki & Ross, 2006). Such data can be regarded as a time series and its prediction depends on accurate modeling of the stochastic process. The computation of the conditional expectation, which is in general non-linear, requires the knowledge of the high order distribution of the samp...

Solar radiation model

Solar radiation models for predicting the average daily and hourly global radiation, beam radiation and diffuse radiation are reviewed in this paper. Seven models using the Ångström– Prescott equation to predict the average daily global radiation with hours of sunshine are considered. The average daily global radiation for Hong Kong (22.3 N latitude, 114.3 E longitude) is predicted. Estimations...

Estimating Solar Radiation for IRAN by using an Optimum Model

Sunshine hours are the only long term, reliable and available measured information that can be used to reach highly accurate estimates of solar radiation values on the Earth surface. In this paper the sunshine duration is used to estimate monthly average daily solar radiation on a horizontal surface, it can be used to predict solar radiation in different climatic region of Iran. According to th...

A STARMA model for solar radiation

To investigate the variability in energy output from a network of photo-voltaic cells, solar radiation was recorded at ten sites every ten minutes in the Pentland Hills to the south of Edinburgh. We identify spatio-temporal auto-regressive moving average (STARMA) models as the most appropriate to address this problem. Although previously considered computationally prohibitive to work with, we s...
