Comparison of aerosol optical depth from satellite (MODIS), Sun photometer and pyrheliometer ground-based measurements in Cuba

open access: yes, 2017
In the present study, we report the first comparison of the aerosol properties measured with sun photometer at Camaguey, Cuba, with the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instruments on Terra and Aqua satellites.

Calibration campaigns for pyrheliometer and pyranometer

open access: yes, 2016
Accurate measurements of solar irradiance are crucial for the planning, tests and operation of solar power plants. The measurement uncertainty caused by the calibration is the most relevant contribution to the overall uncertainty of well-maintained radiometers.

Comparison of Sunshine Duration Measurements between the Campbell–Stokes Sunshine Recorder and Three Automatic Sensors at Three Locations in Cyprus

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
This paper compares the daily sunshine duration (SD) measured by the Campbell–Stokes sunshine recorder (CS) with three automatic instruments (Kipp & Zonen pyranometers (CM6 B), pyrheliometer (CHP1) and CSD3 sunshine recorders).

Calibrated digital images of Campbell–Stokes recorder card archives for direct solar irradiance studies [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2013
A systematic, semi-automatic method for imaging the cards from the widely used Campbell–Stokes sunshine recorder is described. We show how the application of inexpensive commercial equipment and practices can simply and robustly build an archive of high ...

A solar irradiance estimation technique via curve fitting based on dual-mode Jaya optimization

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
Solar irradiance is a crucial environmental parameter for optimal control of photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, precise measurements of the solar irradiance are difficult since the irradiation sensors (i.e., pyranometer or pyrheliometer) are expensive ...

Radiometric Scale Transfer Using Bayesian Model Selection

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
The key input quantity to climate modelling and weather forecasts is the solar beam irradiance, i.e., the primary amount of energy provided by the sun.

Prediction of Circumsolar Irradiance and Its Impact on CSP Systems under Clear Skies

open access: yesEnergies, 2023
In this work, a model to estimate circumsolar normal irradiance (CSNI) for several half-opening angles under clear skies was developed. This approach used a look-up table to determine the model parameters and estimate CSNI for half-opening angles between

NREL Pyrheliometer Comparison: September 16 to 27, 2013 (NPC-2013) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Accurate measurements of direct normal (beam) solar irradiance from pyrheliometers are important for the development and deployment of solar energy conversion systems, improving our understanding of the Earth's energy budget for climate change studies ...
