KPV: A clear-sky index for photovoltaics
Abstract The rapidly growing installed base of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is causing increased interest in forecasting their power output. A key step towards this is accurately estimating the output from a PV system based on the known output from a nearby PV system.

Some Psychometric Properties of the Brazilian CDC Clear Communication Index
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Clear Communication Index (CCI) was cross-culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese (BR). It was necessary to analyze the reliability and validity of the BR-CDC-CCI for its use in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the instrument in its Brazilian version.

Impact of Sunshine Duration and Clearness Index on Diffuse Solar Radiation Estimation in Mountainous Climate [PDF]
In this paper, measured data of solar radiation was applied to develop forty-three (43) empirical models for estimation of monthly average diffuse solar radiation using clearness index, sunshine duration and a combination of them as predictors.

A Semi-Analytical Model for Separating Diffuse and Direct Solar Radiation Components
The knowledge of the solar irradiation components is required by most solar applications. When only the global horizontal irradiance is measured, this one is typically broken down into its fundamental components, beam and diffuse, by applying an ...

Using the Clear Communication Index to Improve Materials for a Behavioral Intervention [PDF]
Ensuring that written materials used in behavioral interventions are clear is important to support behavior change. This study used the Clear Communication Index (CCI) to assess the original and revised versions of three types of written participant materials from the SIPsmartER intervention. Materials were revised based on original scoring. Scores for
