in recent decades, due to increasing prices of fossil fuels and environmental pollution resulting from the increased energy demand, researches on renewable energy sources have attracted lots of researcher’s attention. limited investing sources and environmental issues are important factors effecting electricity generation sector. minimizing costs and environmental damages are issues being consi...

considering that the effective yield of a panel is equal to its total number of hours of solar radiation and temperature, only the effects of temperature and solar radiation intensity at the maximum power point (mpp) are investigated in this article. by collecting temperature data, sun's radiation hours from six synoptic meteorological stations in kermanshah province over the course of an ...

introduction the significant of solar energy as a renewable energy source, clean and without damage to the environment, for the production of electricity and heat is of great importance. furthermore, due to the oil crisis as well as reducing the cost of home heating by 70%, solar energy in the past two decades has been a favorite of many researchers. solar collectors are devices for collecting ...

Solar diffuse radiation data including global radiation, shortwave and longwave balances, net radiation and sunshine hours have been extensively analyzed to study the variation of diffuse radiation with turbidity and cloud discharges appearing in the form of atmospherics over the tropics. Results of surface radiation measurements at Calcutta, Poona, Delhi and Madras are presented together with ...

In spite of their practicability, most classical models are not versatile but rather restrictive in their application. Consequently, their applicability for a particular location depends largely on validation against actual measurements. Global solar radiation parameterizations have been evaluated in this study for a lowland and a mountain site. Tested models were broadly categorised as cloud-b...

The upper atmosphere is a strongly driven system in which the global state is rapidly altered by the solar drivers. Oneof themaindrivers of theupper atmosphere is the solar irradiance in the extremeultraviolet andx-raybands.The solar irradiance in these bands is proxied by ground-basedmeasurements ofF10.7, which is the solar irradiance at the wavelength of 10.7 cm. The problem of estimating F10...
