Models for Estimation of Solar Radiation - Kumari Namrata - Bog

Solar energy is an alternative to fossil fuels for more sustainable and reliable energy options, with a huge potential to meet many times the present world energy demand. Readily available solar radiation data is key to design and assessment of solar conversion systems. Whereas, global radiation is a frequently measured parameter, diffuse irradiance is often not measured, and therefore needs to be estimated from robust, reliable models.
