Assessment of Error Sources in the Modeling of POA Irradiance Under Clear-Sky Conditions: Preprint
Abstract
A new physics-based model, the Fast All-sky Radiation Model for Solar applications with Narrowband Irradiances on Tilted surfaces (FARMS-NIT), accurately computes plane-of-array (POA) irradiances in both narrow- and broad wavelength bands within the solar region. The evaluation studies suggest that the new model provides increased accuracy than a model assuming isotropic diffuse solar radiation and an empirical model linking the POA irradiances with long-term surface observations at selected locations. This study anlyzes the surface observations used by FARMS-NIT and is intended to understand the error sources under clear-sky conditions as well as their impact to the performance of FARMS-NIT.
