Relationships for estimating the beam and diffuse components of hourly, daily, and monthly-average global radiation were developed from a set of recent hourly pyrheliometer and pyranometer data recorded at 4 US locations. The large variance of the hourly data from the hourly diffuse correlation is shown to be the result of clouds, and the effect of not considering this variance on TRNSYS simulation results is shown to be negligible for the systems considered. The seasonally dependent daily diffuse correlation is used along with the generalized k/sub T/ distributions of Liu and Jordan to derive a seasonally dependent monthly-average correlation. This correlation is compared with the monthly-average data and existing monthly-average correlations.
