A New Model for Computing Daily Global Radiation of Lanzhou, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Models for computing daily global radiation for Lanzhou of China were developed. The development of the models was based on the analysis of global and daily sunshine duration data during 10 years. Estimated values were compared with measured values in terms of statistical error tests such as mean percentage error (MPE), mean bias error (MBE), root mean square error (RMSE). The model performing best was selected. The global solar radiation estimated from the best model was compared with measured values. It was determined that the predicted values have good agreement with the measured values at high daily global radiation.
