Abstract: | Several years of measured data for 17 European locations have been used to develop models for estimating monthly mean daily values of diffuse radiation (Hd) from combinations of the following: clearness index, sunshine fraction, and solar declination. Two models giving the highest correlation coefficients and the lowest standard errors of estimation are tested with data for 10 European locations not used in their development. From consideration of the MBE and RMSE values, a model which estimates Hd values from clearness index, relative sunshine duration and solar declination is found to be the most accurate. Comparison with Hd values predicted with the European Community solar radiation model (ECM) confirms this conclusion. |
