Developing mathematical models for global solar radiation intensity estimation at Shakardara, Kabul
Abstract
Solar energy properties such as Global Solar Radiation (GSR) intensity could be determined in either methods, experimentally or theoretically. Unfortunately, in most countries including Afghanistan, the first method which is more acceptable, but due to the high cost, maintenance and calibration requirements is not available. Therefore, an alternative widely used way is the second one which is model developments based on the meteorological (atmospheric) data; specially the sunny hours. The aim of this study at Shakardara area is to estimate atmospheric transparency percentage on 2017, determining the angstrom model coefficients and to introduce a suitable model for global solar radiation prediction. The hourly observed solar radiation intensity H (WHm-2 ) and sunshine hours S (
