Extensive Information

The solar transmittance of seven convection suppression devices (CDSs) has been measured as a function of both angle of incidence and azimuth angle using a large integrating sphere test facility. The CSD designs tested include a honeycomb and various slat geometries made from FEP Teflon1 film, and a tubular glass honeycomb. All FEP Teflon CSDs tested had solar transmittances not less than 0.94 for angles of incidence up to 45 deg, whereas for the glass tubular CSD, the solar transmittance was not less than 0.87 over the same range. The results for FEP Teflon CSDs compare well with previous theoretical and experimental studies of similar CSDs. Empirical solar transmittance correlation equations have been derived, based on a simple CSD solar transmittance model, and they match the measured performance of the CSDs to within 2 percent. The transmittance, reflectance, and absorptance of each CSD to isotropic diffuse radiation have been determined. The radiation properties data presented provides extensive information on some alternative CSD designs, some of which have not been analysed previously.

Significant Difference

The diffuse radiation incident on an inclined surface is composed of both the sky diffuse radiation and the ground-reflected radiation. Depending on the model used to calculate the sky diffuse radiation and the estimated albedo value, it is possible to introduce a significant error in the prediction of the total radiation incident on a tilted surface. Twelve sky diffuse submodels associated with four different albedo submodels are used to estimate the total radiation on the tilted surface from data on the horizontal plane. The predicted total solar radiation values are compared with measured data on a south facing vertical surface, from four representative south and north European locations. Root mean square error, mean bias error, and a t-test are used to determine the intrinsic performance of each combination of diffuse tilt and albedo submodel. Accordingly, the various model combinations do not exhibit a statistically significant difference between measured and calculated values.

Atmospheric Transmissivity

This study aimed to analyze the seasonal variations in atmospheric transmissivity and solar radiation (global and diffuse) on the horizontal surface in Sinop, Mato Grosso (MT) (11.865°S, 55.485°W, and altitude of 371 m) from 06/02/2011 to 12/31/2014. The values of diffuse radiation were measured using the Melo-Escobedo-Oliveira (MEO) shadow ring, with application of astronomical, geometric, and anisotropic correction factors. The analysis of atmospheric transmissivity was based on the classification of sky cover as cloudy, partly cloudy, partially clear, or clear. The diffuse radiation showed similar behavior to the radiation at the top of the atmosphere, reaching a maximum between October and April (rainy season), while the global radiation displayed higher levels during the dry season (May to September). The average daily global radiation ranged from 22.75±0.61 MJ m−2 d−1 in August to 16.44±1.45 MJ m−2 d−1 in January. In Sinop, cloudy and partly cloudy skies occurred on 45.6% of days and atmospheric transmissivity of global radiation was greater than 55% on 54.6% of days. The variations in diffuse radiation in the region were influenced by cloudiness and the concentration of biomass burning aerosol particles. The diffuse radiation can represent 8.02%–99.12% of the global radiation and 5.33%–29.01% of solar energy incident at the top of the atmosphere.

A robust and reliable model describing the power produced by a photovoltaic system is needed in order to be able to detect module failures, inverter malfunction, shadowing effects and other factors that may result to energy losses. In addition, a reliable model enables an investor to perform accurate estimates of the system energy production, payback times etc. The model utilizes the global irradiance reaching the plane of the photovoltaic modules since in almost all Photovoltaic (PV) facilities the beam and the diffuse solar irradiances are not recorded. The airmass, the angle of incidence and the efficiency drop due to low values of solar irradiance are taken into account. Currently, the model is validated through the use of high quality data available from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (USA). The data were acquired with IV tracers while the meteorological conditions were also recorded. Several modules of different technologies were deployed but here we present results from a single crystalline module. The performance of the model is acceptable at a level of 5% despite the assumptions made. The dependence of the residuals upon solar irradiance temperature, airmass and angle of incidence is also explored and future work is described.
