A Novel Intelligent Water Drops Optimization Approach for Estimating Global Solar Radiation

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Measurement of solar radiance demands expensive devices to be used. Alternatively, estimator models are used instead. In this paper, a new method based on the empirical equations is introduced to estimate the monthly average daily global solar radiation on a horizontal surface. The proposed method uses Intelligent Water ...

Estimating and modeling monthly mean daily global solar radiation on horizontal surfaces using artificial neural networks

In this study, an artificial neural network based model for prediction of solar energy potential in Kerman province in Iran has been developed. Meteorological data of 12 cities for period of 17 years (1997–2013) and solar radiation for five cities around and inside Kerman province from the Iranian Meteorological Office data center were used for the training and testing the network. Meteorologic...

A software component for estimating solar radiation

GSRad (global solar radiation) is a software component containing models to estimate extra-terrestrial and ground-level solar radiation (global and photosynthetically active; direct, diffuse, and reflected components) from alternative methods. Radiation data are estimated as either 1-h or 24-h values. Moreover, GSRad provides methods to compute clear sky transmissivity, slope and aspect angles ...

Estimating Global Solar Radiation Potential for Brazil by Iranna-Bapat's Regression Models

In recent years, installing photovoltaic (PV) systems has become a worldwide trend. The prediction of solar radiation is very important to PV systems for power generation. For the large power-plant installations, the power allocations and scheduling form PV systems becomes an important issue. This paper aims at estimating the GSR for different locations in Brazil. A total of 20 locations spread...
