Estimation of symmetric and asymmetric hourly global and diffuse radiation from daily values

The validity of the correlations[1–3] to estimate the hourly global and diffuse solar radiation components for an independent dataset of fourteen locations is examined in this article. The correlations for the diffuse component[2,3] are found to be in rather poor agreement with the data. An improved...

Zusammenfassung:The validity of the correlations[1–3] to estimate the hourly global and diffuse solar radiation components for an independent dataset of fourteen locations is examined in this article. The correlations for the diffuse component[2,3] are found to be in rather poor agreement with the data. An improved correlation for the diffuse component that includes a daily diffuse fraction as a parameter is developed. The influence of this improved correlation on estimating the beam radiation component is examined. A convenient form of describing asymmetry for these three components of solar radiation distribution is proposed and validated.
