A New and Inexpensive Pyranometer for the Visible Spectral Range
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the design, construction and testing of a new photodiode-based pyranometer for the visible spectral range (approx. 400 to 750 nm), whose principal characteristics are: accuracy, ease of connection, immunity to noise, remote programming and operation, interior temperature regulation, cosine error minimisation and all this at a very low cost, tens of times lower than that of commercial thermopile-based devices. This new photodiode-based pyranometer overcomes traditional problems in this type of device and offers similar characteristics to those of thermopile-based pyranometers and, therefore, can be used in any installation where reliable measurement of solar irradiance is necessary, especially in those where cost is a deciding factor in the choice of a meter. This new pyranometer has been registered in the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office under the number P200703162.

متن کاملSolar Cell Based Pyranometers: Evaluation of the Diffuse Response
The responsivity to diffuse radiation of a solar cell based pyranometer is studied. Diffuse measurements are made using a shade disk for a LiCor Pyranometer and an Eppley PSP pyranometer mounted side by side on an automatic tracker. The difference in the diffuse responsivity varies by 30 to 40% between cloudy conditions and clear skies. This difference is attributed to the spectral dependence o...

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...
