Abstract Knowledge of diffuse radiation is essential to design and monitor passive and
active solar systems. Measuring diffuse radiation is not common in most meteorological …

In order to analyze solar systems, it is very important to determine the accurate solar
radiation components belonging to any region. These components are defined as the beam …

The fast growth of installed photovoltaic capacity is leading to an increasing impact of
variable photovoltaic generation on the overall electricity industry, affecting all stakeholders …

In this study, an examination was conducted on weather data gathered from the Murzuq
weather station over a period of nine months, specifically focusing on 15-minute time series …

This article presents an analytical model for calculating representative daily‐periodic cycles
of net surface radiation on a slope with any angle α α (0∘≤ α≤ 9 0∘ 0^ ∘ ≤ α ≤ 9 0^ ∘) …

This article presents an analytical model for the diurnal cycle of slope‐normal profiles of
potential temperature and wind speed characterizing thermally driven slope winds …

As the share of photovoltaics (PV) in electricity production increases, accurate modeling and
forecasting of its output becomes critical. PV output is however affected by multiple factors …

Solar farm installers generally struggle with the allocation of irradiance sensors throughout
the plant area, which are essential for monitoring purposes. Despite the existence of the …

This paper presents a new method to predict global solar radiation over irregular terrain,
named Estimation of global solar RADiation (ERAD). The method is based on the …

The present paper provides a method to identify the appropriate time‐scales at which
turbulence components behave quasi‐isotropically. In particular, the scales are identified on …
