The effect of climate change on solar radiation in Nigeria [PDF]

, 2015
In this study, global solar radiation over Nigeria was simulated under an enhanced atmospheric CO2 level using the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) Regional Climate Model version 3 (RegCM3) for the period 1981 to 2100 with ECHAM5 GCM

Development of New Models for the Estimation of Hourly Components of Solar Radiation: Tests, Comparisons, and Application for the Generation of a Solar Database in Morocco

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2021
All studies of solar systems need the hourly values of solar fluxes related to the different components of solar radiation. However, for most sites, measurements are not available.

Direct radiation estimates from horizontal global irradiance values [PDF]

, 1999
One of the main factors determining the economic feasibility of a solar thermal power plant is the availability of direct radiation at the plant site. During last years, two Central Receiver Power Plants (Solgas and Colon Solar) have been proposed in ...

Temporal Evolution, Oscillation and Coherence Characteristics Analysis of Global Solar Radiation Distribution in Major Cities in China’s Solar-Energy-Available Region Based on Continuous Wavelet Transform

Applied Sciences
The majority of the energy required for human survival is derived either directly or indirectly from solar radiation, thus it is important to investigate the periodic fluctuations in global solar radiation over time.

Physical reviews of solar radiation models for estimating global solar radiation in Indonesia

Energy Reports, 2020
Indonesia is a tropical country that has an equator that has the intensity of the sun throughout the year. Mapping of the potential solar intensity has not been done much, even the measurement data is still very limited. The purpose of this paper is to review 10 solar intensity calculation models that are frequently used.

The potential of global solar radiation in the Silesia region as a renewable source of energy

Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2016
Historically, Silesia has been at the centre of the Polish coal industry for many years and thus has experienced poorer air quality compared to other voivodeships.

Effect of diffuse solar radiation on the thermal performance of solar collectors

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2018
To characterize the thermal performance of solar thermal collectors, lab tests are required to evaluate the maximum thermal efficiency and heat loss. The CNS 15165–1:2008 is in compliance with ISO 9806:1994, which is an outdoor steady-state test method ...
