Improvements in the utilizability relationships

Conference · · Proc. Annu. Meet. - Am. Sect. Int. Sol. Energy Soc.; (United States)

;
The assumptions associated with the monthly average utilizability correlation developed by Klein have been investigated. The availability of long-term (20 years) hourly weather data made it possible to separate the errors associated with each assumption used to develop the correlation. A new method for determining monthly-average utilizability was developed and an improved correlation for flat-plate solar collectors is presented.
