Problems Supplement

The document provides information to calculate clear sky beam radiation on a given date and time using the ESRA model, and compares the result to a value from a reference source. It also describes using Markov transition matrices and random numbers to generate synthetic daily global radiation values for the first three days of June based on mean monthly clear sky clearness factors for May and June.

Question 16
Use the ESRA model to calculate the clear sky beam radiation on the horizontal on the date and time
in the table. Compare your result with the value in CIBSE Guide J Table 5.23

Date 29-Jan
Latitude 50oN
Year Day 29
Time 12:30
Solar altitude 22o
Linke Turbidity 3.5
[246 W·m ; CIBSE 238 W·m-2]
-2

Question 17
For a site in London generate synthetic daily global radiation for the first three days of June given
that the mean monthly clear sky clearness factor, Kc,m for May is 0.61 and for June is 0.65.

Use the Markov Transition Matrices in Appendix 15 of the Solar Resource lecture notes. Use the
following random numbers

0.66380398 0.258400496 0.156894519


Q16 Solution
(a) Solar constant, W∙m-2

(b)
( )
[ ]

(c) Linke Turbidity, (given)

(d) Calculate the air mass, for an altitude of 22o

⁄[ ( ) ]

[ ]

(e) Rayleigh depth

⁄ ( )
⁄ ( )

( )

(f) Beam radiation

( )

CIBSE value = 238 W

Q17 Solution
As Kc,m for June is 0.61 chose Table 8 (we use this table for the whole month)

Choosing row 7 (0.6-0.7)

0.6-0.7 0.003 0.018 0.04 0.079 0.142 0.143 0.153 0.14 0.139 0.144

Summing the probabilities from left to right until the total exceeds the first random number
0.66380398. This occurs between the seventh and eight (highlighted) columns.

Interpolating
0.650 ? 0.750
0.578 0.66380398 0.718

( )

So this is the Clearness index for the first day

Day 2
Previous KT is 0.61 chose row 7 (0.6-0.7) in Table 8

0.6-0.7 0.003 0.018 0.04 0.079 0.142 0.143 0.153 0.14 0.139 0.144

Summing the probabilities from left to right until the total exceeds the first random number
0.66380398. This occurs between the seventh and eight (highlighted) columns.

Interpolating
0.650 ? 0.750
0.578 0.66380398 0.718
