Measurements of the angular distribution of diffuse irradiance
Advanced solar resource assessment and forecasting is necessary for optimal solar energy utilization. In order to investigate the short-term resource variability, for instance caused by clouds it is necessary to investigate how clouds affect the solar irradiance, including the angular distribution of the solar irradiance.
The investigation is part of the Danish contribution to the taskforce 46 within the International Energy Agency and financed by the Danish Energy Agency. The investigation focuses on the distribution of the diffuse solar irradiance and is based on horizontal measurements of the solar irradiance from 8 different parts of the sky as well as horizontal measurements of the total beam and total diffuse irradiance.
