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 solar irradiation using accurate instrumentation. Nevertheless, the need to estimate is still very essential and will continue to be so, mainly because of the fact that such on-land measurements are localized at single points on the Earth. In fact, the input, must be estimated or measured accurately to reach the efficiencies (output/input) of the systems. Consequently, this study analysis and compares the models to predict the solar irradiation on inclined surface in the most accurate way for Ankara. To this aim, the measurements have been taken since April 2016. Hourly isotropic model, two anisotropic models HDKR and Perez are used to estimate hourly solar irradiation on inclined surface and converted into monthly mean daily values. Meanwhile, isotropic sky model based on monthly average daily values is also used in the calculations, by utilizing a recent methodology developed by the authors to predict the diffuse component of solar irradiation falling on a horizontal surface. The analysis is carried out using the measurements of two Kipp and Zonen (CMP11) thermopile pyranometers and a new generation silicon pyranometer. The results show that HDKR is the best method. Another important result shows that the measurements of new generation silicon pyranometer has still considerable errors.

Estimation of diffuse component for two locations in Turkey Karaveli, Abdullah Bugrahan; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin (2016-10-14) 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 ...
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...
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 ...
Investigation of digital elevation model uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation Ismaila, Abdur-Rahman Belel; Düzgün, H. Şebnem; Ediger, Volkan; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2013) In this study, a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation approach that incorporates digital elevation model's (DEM) spatial autocorrelation is developed with the aim of assessing the impact of DEM uncertainty in GIS-based solar radiation models. The method utilized the error probability distribution function (pdf) of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM, and variogram model parameters of the study area's SRTM DEM as a priori information for the formulation of Metropolis-Hasting algorithm. Statisti...
Modelling, transient simulation and parametric study of parabolic trough collector with thermal energy storage Akba, Tufan; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this thesis, a mathematical model of a parabolic trough collector field with a two-tank molten salt thermal energy storage is developed. The model is built in TRNSYS and by using MatLab, novel valve and thermal energy storage control algorithms are implemented. The model is sensitive to transient states inside the components and variations in weather and demand. Optimum parabolic trough collector length is determined for different insolation values to show the relation between direct normal insolation an...
