Altitude effect on the clearness index in the French alps

Solar Energy, 1993
Abstract Simultaneous measurements of horizontal global solar irradiance were done over three years, at altitudes ranging from 200 m to 1,700 m in an industrial alpine valley, for studying the clearness index variations versus height. Estimated values of the Angstrom coefficient suggested that the main cause of depletion of the clear sky clearness ...

EMPIRICAL MODELS FOR CORRELATION OF CLEARNESS INDEX WITH CLOUD INDEX AT ZARIA, KADUNA STATE

International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology, 2021
In this study, the monthly average daily values of global solar radiation and relative sunshine hours on a horizontal surface over a period of five years (2011-2015) using multi-linear polynomial form of the AngstromPrescott model have been developed to estimate global solar radiation for Zaria (northern part of Nigeria) which lies on latitude 11°04'N ...

A probability density function for the clearness index, with applications

Solar Energy, 1983
Abstract This paper uses classical probability theory to derive expressions for the expected (or mean) value of quantities such as the irradiation on inclined surfaces, collector output, and net gain through windows. The random variables are the clearness index kt and the diffuse fraction k, whose means are k t and k , respectively ...

Analytic Formula for the Clear‐sky UV Index

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2007
AbstractAn approximate formula for the UV Index (UVI) under cloud‐free, unpolluted, low surface albedo conditions is: image where μo is the cosine of the solar zenith angle and Ω is the total vertical ozone column (in Dobson Units, DU). The dependence on μo and Ω is based on a simple physical model of biologically weighted atmospheric transmission in

Spatial and Temporal Variation of Clearness Index in Iraq

Jordan Journal of Physics, 2021
Abstract: This study deals with the spatial and temporal variation of clearness index (KT) in different meteorological stations, well distributed in Iraq, during the period between 1995 and 2015. The results indicate that the clearness index varies with the geographical location and period of the year.

The Clear Space Index

2016
Kt/V for urea (Kt/V) is a dimensionless clinical index of dialysis dose; however, it does not directly reflect the removal capacity of the solute. Since the total amount of solute removal, M, is directly proportional to the initial solute concentration CB(0), it is reasonable to introduce an index by dividing M by CB(0).

Relationship between “clearness index” and “cloudiness index” at a tropical station (Ilorin, Nigeria)

Renewable Energy, 1995
Abstract Total (global) solar radiation, H, and diffuse solar radiation, Hd were measured at Ilorin (8° 30′N 4° 42′E) Nigeria. From these, the daily values of H H 0 and H d H were computed, where H0 is the extraterrestrial radiation.

Dynamics of Clear Sky Index of Solar Insolation

Volume 3: Advances in Thermal Technologies; Advances in Semiconductor Manufacturing; Clean Energy Technologies & Systems; Cyber Physical Systems + AI / ML
Abstract Understanding the variability of solar energy is essential for optimizing energy resource planning and utilization. This study investigates the clear sky index k (the ratio of actual insolation to ideal clear-sky insolation) using satellite-derived real-sky data (INSAT-3D) and ideal-sky data computed through GRASS GIS, across

A derivation of the diffuse fraction's dependence on the clearness index

Solar Energy, 1985
Abstract When averaged over many events having the same kt, the average diffuse fraction k carries an important quasi-universal functional dependence k (k t ) on the clearness index kt. This paper presents a theoretical derivation of k(kt).

Generalized clearness index frequency curves for the Russian Federation

Doklady Physics, 2017
Actinometric data of World Radiation Data Center and NASA POWER were used to get daily clearness index frequencies for Russia. The results obtained provide the opportunity to estimate more accurately the output of various types of solar power plants.
