ABE-151-Estimation-of-Solar-Radiation

The document discusses the types of solar radiation, including Beam and Diffused Radiation, and how they combine to form Global Radiation. It also explains the instruments used to measure these radiations, such as Pyranometers and Pyrheliometers, and presents empirical equations for predicting solar radiation availability. Additionally, it covers solar radiation on tilted surfaces and provides references for further reading.

ABE 151

Renewable Energy for AB


Applications
Estimation
of
Solar Radiation
• The solar radiation received at earth’s surface without change of direction in line with
the location of sun or as originated from sun is called Beam or Direct Radiation.

• The solar radiation received at earth’s surface with change of direction from all the
part of the sky’s hemisphere after scattering in atmosphere is called Diffused
Radiation.

• Beam radiation (Hb or Ib) + Diffuse radiation (Hd or Id) is equal to Global radiation (Hg
or Ig)
(Hb or Ib) + (Hd or Id) = (Hg or Ig)
• An instrument which measures either global or diffuse radiation falling on horizontal
surface is called as Pyranometer.

• An instrument which measures the beam radiation is called as Pyrheliometer.


Solar Radiation Data
• Generally, solar radiation data is measured for the horizontal surface.

• Solar radiation data is reported in langleys per hour or day (1 Langleys = 1


cal/cm2 = 1.163 x 10-2 kWh/m2)

• The unit Langley has been adopted in honor of Samuel Langley, who made
the first measurement of the spectral distribution of the sun.
Empirical Equations for Predicting the Availability of Solar Radiation
• Empirical Relationship developed for estimation of solar radiation falling on
horizontal surface are:
o Monthly Average Daily Global Radiation
o Monthly Average Daily Diffused Radiation
o Monthly Average Hourly Global Radiation
o Monthly Average Hourly Diffuse Radiation
