Intercomparison of 51 radiometers for determining global horizontal irradiance and direct normal irradiance measurements

Journal Article Habte, Aron ; Sengupta, Manajit ; Andreas, Afshin ; ... - Solar Energy

Accurate solar radiation measurements require properly installed and maintained radiometers with calibrations traceable to the World Radiometric Reference. This study analyzes the performance of 51 commercially available and prototype radiometers used for measuring global horizontal irradiances or direct normal irradiances. These include pyranometers, pyrheliometers, rotating shadowband radiometers, and a pyranometer with an internal shading mask deployed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's (NREL) Solar Radiation Research Laboratory. The radiometers in this study were deployed for one year (from April 1, 2011, through March 31, 2012), and their measurements were compared under clear-sky, partly cloudy, and mostly cloudy conditions to referencemore »« less

Model for Deriving the Direct Normal and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance from the Global Tilted Irradiance

Journal Article Marion, Bill - Solar Energy

We developed a separation model for deriving the direct normal irradiance (DNI) and the diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) from the global tilted irradiance (GTI). The model is based on the DIRINT model, but substitutes the use of the GTI in place of the global horizontal irradiance (GHI) for determining the global clearness index (Kt). Additionally, an iterative method is used to adjust Kt to improve the derived values of the DNI and the DHI. The model is referred to as the GTI-DIRINT model. When using for model input the GTI measured with a pyranometer tilted at a small angle frommore »« less

Global Tilt Irradiance to Direct Normal and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance

Software

GTI-DIRINT is a separation model for deriving the direct normal irradiance (DNI) and the diffuse horizontal irradiance (DHI) from the global tilted irradiance (GTI). The model is based on the DIRINT model, but substitutes the use of the GTI in place of the global horizontal irradiance (GHI).
Correlations for direct normal and global horizontal irradiation on a French Mediterranean site

Journal Article Louche, A ; Notton, G ; Poggi, P ; ... - Solar Energy (Journal of Solar Energy Science and Engineering); (USA)

The purpose of this study is to establish some correlations on direct normal and global horizontal irradiation for a Mediterranean site. The correlations have been developed for monthly mean values, daily and hourly values of irradiation data. The authors have used linear or polynomial regressions between energetical ratio and sunshine duration. For the monthly means and the daily values, the ratio I/I{sub M} fits very well the sunshine duration while, for hourly values, they express I{sub h}/I{sub o,h} as a function of H{sub h}/H{sub o,h}. In all cases, these correlations are, for this Mediterranean site, in good accordance with experimentalmore »« less

India Direct Normal & Global Horizontal Irradiance Solar Resources

Dataset Lopez, Anthony

GIS data for India's direct normal irradiance (DNI) and global horizontal irradiance. Provides 10-kilometer (km) solar resource maps and data for India. The 10-km hourly solar resource data were developed using weather satellite (METEOSAT) measurements incorporated into a site-time specific solar modeling approach developed at the U.S. State University of New York at Albany. The data is made publicly available in geographic information system (GIS) format (shape files etc). The new maps and data were released in June 2013. The new data expands the time period of analysis from 2002-2007 to 2002-2011 and incorporates enhanced aerosols information to improve directmore »« less
