In analyzing the solar energy systems, the first step is the accurate measurements/estimations of the input in the long term: solar irradiation incident on the panels. The measurements are lacking in many places so the estimation procedures should be developed using the measured data of the locations having similar climates and close in latitudes. In most life cycle assessments, monthly averages of daily values are utilized in the form of typical meteorological year or simply with the averages of a year or for a number of consecutive years. Although the beam component of the solar irradiation is usually higher than total of all diffuse components except in highly cloudy and overcast sky conditions, estimation of diffuse components is vital especially to determine the solar irradiation on tilted solar panels. In this study, with the final aim of developing the best procedures to estimate diffuse solar radiation component for all the locations of Turkey, we carried out a preliminary comparison and reached a best procedure of estimation for two locations in Central Anatolia. Our procedure is to compare a model based on a physical formalism developed before with four methods of estimation appeared in the literature, together with the data obtained by Meteonorm Software. As a result, our model has given one of the two best results together with Meteonorm Software when compared to measured values. It is in fact the best one according to the RMSE value.

Modelling and performance analysis of linear fresnel collector for process heat generation for ice cream factory in Konya Singh, Rahul; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) In this thesis, a linear Fresnel collector has been designed to supply solar heat for industrial process. Firstly, optical analysis using ray tracing is done to determine the effects of collector’s parameters, such as height of receiver, mirror width and profile, gap between adjacent rows and slope deviation. Afterwards, one-dimensional thermal model is presented which predicts surface temperatures of receiver components and heat loss. The results obtained from both optical and thermal studies are then benc...
Evaluation and Comparisons of the Models to Calculate Solar Irradiation on Inclined Solar Panels for Ankara Özden, Talat; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Karaveli, Abdullah Buğrahan (2017-11-29) In the optimization and feasibility analysis of renewable energy systems, the accuracy of the simulation methods is extremely important. Thus, in the case of solar energy systems, estimating the monthly average daily solar irradiation incident on inclined solar panels is the main step of long-term feasibility analysis toward reaching the viable investments. In fact, most solar energy investor companies use silicon solar irradiation measuring instruments in Turkey although only a few of them also measure the...
Simulation Studies of Hole Textured and Planar Microcrystalline Silicon Solar Cell at Different Zenith Angle Zainab, Sana; Hussain, Shahzad; Altinoluk, Serra H.; Turan, Raşit (2017-09-23) Efficiency of solar cell greatly depends on its interaction with input solar irradiance. For highly efficient solar cell, absorption of input light should be maximum at all angles. Different surface texturing techniques like pyramid texturing, cone texturing, pillar texturing have been used to increase absorption of light in solar cell. Micro-hole Surface texturing is getting popular in absorption of solar radiation at higher zenith angle. In this paper, effect of varying zenith angle on hole textured solar...
A Feasibility study for external control on self-organized production of plasmonic enhancement interfaces for solar cells Zolfaghari Borra, Mona; Bek, Alpan; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2013) The present study is about the improvement of the energy conversion efficiency of solar cells in which plasmonic light-trapping approach has been investigated. In this study, metal nanoparticles are allowed to form in a self-organized fashion on both flat and textured full scale monocrystalline silicon solar cell. These metal nanoparticles with strong optical interaction cross-sections at localized plasmonic resonance energies, improve coupling of the incoming light into the active area of solar cells by wa...
Assessment of solar data estimation models for four cities in Iran Jahani, Elham; Sadati, S. M. Sajed; Yousefzadeh, Moslem (2015-04-29) The estimated solar resources are important for designing renewable energy systems since measured data are not always available. The estimation models have been introduced in several studies. These models are mainly dependent on local meteorological data and need to be assessed for different locations and times. The current study compares the results of Angstrom's model and a neural network (NN) model developed for this study with measured data for four cities in Iran. The time resolution for the estimated ...
