The intensity of solar radiation available at the horizontal surface are measured by a CMP6 Pyranometer in Biratnagar (26.45°N, 87.27°E), Pokhara (28.22°N, 83.32°E), Kathmandu (27.72°N, 85.32°E ) and Lukla (26.69°N,86.73°E), which are 72m, 800m, 1350m, and 2850m, above from the sea level. This paper compares the seasonal and altitude variations of total solar radiation measured at above mentioned sites. The maximum total solar radiation of about 704.51 W/m2, 815.97 W/m2 777.27 W/m2 and 914.03 W/m2, are observed in Biratnagar, Pokhara, Kathmandu, and Lukla respectively. Solar radiation available in any location is affected by topography and pollution. It is found that the more solar energy is available during spring than in summer in Lukla. The solar radiation is observed higher in Pokhara than in Kathmandu. It might be due to absorption of solar energy by air pollutants which are higher in Kathmandu as compared to Pokhara.In addition we also discussed the diurnal variation of measured and calculated data of solar radiation on clear sky day. The annual average solar energy measuring 4.95, 5.44, 5.19 and 4.61 kWh/m2/day is found in Biratnagar, Pokhara Kathmandu and Lukla respectively.

Several methods have been used to predict daily solar radiation in recent years, such as artificial intelligence and hybrid models. In this paper, a Wavelet coupled Gaussian Process Regression (W-GPR) model was proposed to predict the daily solar radiation received on a horizontal surface in Ghardaia (Algeria). A statistical period of four years (2013 -2016) was used where the first three years (2013-2015) are used to train model and the last year (2016) to test the model for predicting daily total solar radiation. Different types of wave mother and different combinations of input data were evaluated based on the minimum air temperature, relative humidity and extraterrestrial solar radiation on a horizontal surface. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the new hybrid model W-GPR compared to the classical GPR model in terms of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), relative Root Mean Square Error (rRMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and determination coefficient (R2).

The presented article examines the issues of energy security of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which is an integral part of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the use of renewable energy in its provision. For this purpose, the solar energy resources of the Autonomous Republic were studied. The study used theoretical, computational, observational and comparative analysis methods to estimate solar energy as a renewable energy resource. The main source for assessing the potential of solar energy of the Autonomous Republic — experimental and observation materials of the USSR Hydrometeorological Committee on the Republic of Azerbaijan and NAR for 1960–1980, the results of researches of the Institute of Geography of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences for 1936–1950, Nakhchivan AR experimental-observation materials of the Hydrometeorological Center for 1995–2015, static indicators of Nakhchivan Solar Power Plant for 2016–2017, as well as the results of theoretical and computational research were used. As a result of the study, it was determined that the annual value of total radiation (Q) in the horizontal area was 7541 and 6204 MC/m2, respectively, in the clear and medium cloudy sky. At the same time, the average annual transparency coefficient was 0.8229, 0.811 in winter and 0.897 in summer. The annual value of total radiation (Q) of the horizontal field in the territory of the NAR is higher than in other regions of the country, and the coefficient of transparency of the atmosphere is higher than in other regions, too. At the same time, the duration of solar radiation in the NAR is high and is 2792 hours. Formulas have been proposed to calculate the value of solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface on the basis of many years of experimental and observational materials. Using these calculation formulas, it is possible to calculate the total solar radiation on the horizontal surface for any area of the NAR.

The Relationship

Abstract Clouds greatly affect the elements of climate, energy balance, and solar radiation, which has increased the interest of many researchers in trying to find the best relationships and formulas that link these variables. In this work, the data of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) was relied on. The research aims to find the overlap between Cloud Cover (Low, Middle, High, and Total), (LCC, MCC, HCC, and TCC) respectively, with Total Solar Radiation (TSR) of Baghdad city, for the period (1981-2013), the work was carried out with the monthly and annual data of the (Low, Middle, High, and Total) cloud cover and the total solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface. And by using the correlation coefficient Spearman rho test (rs) to find the strength of the relationship between total solar radiation and cloud cover, it was found that there is an inverse relationship between the total solar radiation falling on a horizontal surface and the (Low, Middle, High, and Total) cloud cover.
