Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Sun produces these electromagnetic waves and emits them outwards in all directions. Solar radiation is measured by its energy power transferred per unit area (w/m²). In general, the Earth receives less than 0.5 × 10 −9 of the energy of its radiation from the Sun.
Mandatory parameters used in the computation of solar radiation include AOD, SSA, LSA, PWV, O 3, COT, water particle radius, ice particle radius, cloud particle phase, and cloud top height. Some other atmospheric gas distributions were selected from the climate database provided by the software.
Thus, global radiation includes that obtained directly from the solar disk and also the diffuse radiation from the sky spread through the atmosphere. Global radiation is measured with the pyranometer. To measure only the diffuse component of solar radiation, the direct component is covered by a screen or shading system. 3.
Accurate and efficient estimation of surface solar radiation facilitates the planning and design of photovoltaic energy systems. Most surface solar radiation studies have focused on developing high-accuracy models, while overlooking model uncertainty, generalizability, computational efficiency, and interpretability.
Some of the most common instruments for measuring solar radiation include: Pyrheliometer : This device measures direct solar radiation and consists of a sensor that collects the radiation of incident sunlight at an angle of 90 degrees. Provides an accurate reading of direct solar radiation.
In , the performance of Jain and Baig et al. models, which are based on the Gaussian distribution function, are considered to estimate hourly global solar radiation from the daily values. Therein, distribution through hours of any clear day from sunrise to sunset is evaluated with the measured data.
