Abstract

Most of the diffuse fraction correlations are based on hourly or daily data. However, the performance of solar collectors depends on instantaneous solar radiation. Moreover, in most cases the diffuse fraction is defined as IdIg, or GdGg, where Ig and Gg are hourly, and daily global radiation. But in many cases it is more suitable to define the diffuse fraction as IdIbn or GdGbn, as was done in the ASHRAE model. At present there are some fairly accurate methods, e.g. the parameterization method, to predict direct beam radiation, Ibn. In combination with an accurate model for diffuse fraction defined as IdIbn, these methods would allow the prediction of instantaneous, hourly and daily beam, diffuse, ground reflected, and total solar radiation. The model developed in this paper allows the calculation of instantaneous diffuse radiation directly from the extraterrestrial radiation. According to this model, the instantaneous diffuse radiation and IdIbn fraction can be simulated with the help of the following formulae:
