Abstract
A new method for obtaining very accurate models to predict the Beam and Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance is proposed, using two sources of data: satellite irradiation estimations and two clear-sky models (one for Beam and one for Diffuse Irradiance). By means of a Fourier Series approximation, we correct the clear-sky models and adapt them to the climatological conditions of a specific location. Applying it to six cities in latitudes ranging from 36∘ to 60∘ degrees North, we compare our predictions with real ground-level data obtained (in this work) from the WRDC database. Results show that the proposed model is both accurate and applicable to different climates.
