Evaluating tilted plane models for solar radiation using comprehensive testing procedures, at a southern hemisphere location
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work aims at assessing the performances of four models for their relative merits in estimating diffuse solar radiation on tilted planes for a southern location (Reunion Island). This comparative study benefits from a sound and consistent experimental set-up and is more detailed than the previous research works as 14 inclined planes are available for testing.

متن کاملEstimation of Hourly, Daily and Monthly Global Solar Radiation on Inclined Surfaces: Models Re-Visited
Global solar radiation is generally measured on a horizontal surface, whereas the maximum amount of incident solar radiation is measured on an inclined surface. Over the last decade, a number of models were proposed for predicting solar radiation on inclined surfaces. These models have various scopes; applicability to specific surfaces, the requirement for special measuring equipment, or limita...
متن کاملSolar Latitudinal Distribution of Solar Flares around the Sun and Their Association with Forbush Decreases during the Period of 1986 to 2003
Solar flare events of high importance were utilised to study solar latitudinal frequency distribution of the solar flares in northern and southern hemisphere for the solar cycle 22 to recent solar cycle 23. A statistical analysis was performed to obtain their relationship with sudden storm commencement (SSCs) and Forbush decrease events (Fd) of cosmic ray intensity. An 11-year cyclic variation ...
