Significant Difference

The diffuse radiation incident on an inclined surface is composed of both the sky diffuse radiation and the ground-reflected radiation. Depending on the model used to calculate the sky diffuse radiation and the estimated albedo value, it is possible to introduce a significant error in the prediction of the total radiation incident on a tilted surface. Twelve sky diffuse submodels associated with four different albedo submodels are used to estimate the total radiation on the tilted surface from data on the horizontal plane. The predicted total solar radiation values are compared with measured data on a south facing vertical surface, from four representative south and north European locations. Root mean square error, mean bias error, and a t-test are used to determine the intrinsic performance of each combination of diffuse tilt and albedo submodel. Accordingly, the various model combinations do not exhibit a statistically significant difference between measured and calculated values.

Characteristics of site-specific solar irradiation is required to optimize a solar energy system. If no tracking system is used, the amount of electricity or heat produced by solar energy depends on the total solar radiation on a tilted surface. Although pyranometer measures direct plus diffuse solar radiation on a horizontal surface, there are many locations where diffuse radiation is not measured. Also, diffuse radiation is necessary to determine the total radiation on a tilted surface. Therefore, in this study, new correlations for diffuse solar radiation is proposed as a function of atmospheric parameters for Urla (Izmir, Turkey). After applying the statistical procedure on the measured data, seven new correlations are proposed for the ratio of hourly average diffuse and total radiation. Also, the ratio of monthly average daily diffuse and total radiation for this region is proposed.
