A Collection of Models for the Estimation of Global Solar Radiation in Algeria

Three analytical-based models are developed to estimate the monthly global solar radiation in the Algerian territory. The models are based on measured global solar radiation in the horizontal surface as well as sunshine hours in 4 different sites during a period of 6 years. The results show a remark...

Description
Summary:Three analytical-based models are developed to estimate the monthly global solar radiation in the Algerian territory. The models are based on measured global solar radiation in the horizontal surface as well as sunshine hours in 4 different sites during a period of 6 years. The results show a remarkable agreement between the measured and computed values using the different models.
