In this work, we propose weather prediction models to estimate hourly outdoor temperatures and solar irradiance in the next day using forecasting information. Hourly weather data predicted by the proposed models are useful for setting system operating strategies for the next day. The outside temperature prediction model considers 3-hourly temperatures forecasted by Korea Meteorological Administration. Hourly data are obtained by a simple interpolation scheme. The solar irradiance prediction is achieved by constructing a dataset with the observed cloudiness and correspondent solar irradiance during the last two weeks and then by matching the forecasted cloud factor for the next day with the solar irradiance values in the dataset. To verify the usefulness of the weather prediction models in predicting a short-term building load, the predicted data are inputted to a TRNSYS building model, and results are compared with a reference case. Results show that the test case can meet the acceptance error level defined by the ASHRAE guideline showing 8.8% in CVRMSE in spite of some inaccurate predictions for hourly weather data.

Typical Meteorological Year Dataset is necessary for the renewable energy feasibility study. Since National Renewable Energy Laboratory has been built Typical Meteorological Year Dataset in 1978, gridded datasets taken from numerical weather prediction or satellite imagery are employed to produce Typical Meteorological Year Dataset. In general, Typical Meteorological Year Dataset is generated by using long-term in-situ observations. However, solar insolation is not usually measured at synoptic observing stations and therefore it is limited to build the Typical Meteorological Year Dataset with only in-situ observation. This study attempts to build the Typical Meteorological Year Dataset with satellite derived solar insolation as an alternative and then we evaluate the Typical Meteorological Year Dataset made by using satellite derived solar irradiance at Daejeon ground station. The solar irradiance is underestimated when satellite imagery is employed.

The purpose of the work is to develop a simple solar irradiance prediction model using a deep learning method, the LSTM (long term short term memory). Other than existing prediction models, the proposed one uses only the cloudiness among the information forecasted from the national meterological forecast center. The future cloudiness is generally announced with four categories and for three-hour intervals. In this work, a daily irradiance pattern is used as an input vector to the LSTM together with that cloudiness information. The proposed model showed an error of 5% for learning and 30% for prediction. This level of error has lower influence on the load prediction in typical building cases.

This study compares cloud radiation model (CRM) and sunshine fraction radiation model (SFRM) according to the solar altitude using hourly sunshine duration (SD) and cloud cover (CC) data. Solar irradiance measurements are not easy for the expensive measuring equipment and precise measuring technology. The two models with the site fitting and South Korea coefficients have been analyzed for fourteen cities of South Korea during the period (1986-2015) and evaluated using the root mean square error (RMSE) and the mean bias error (MBE). From the comparison of the results, it is found that the SFRM with the site fitting coefficients could be the best method for fourteen locations. It may be concluded that the SFRM models of South Korea coefficients generated in this study may be used reasonably well for calculating the hourly horizontal global irradiance (HGI) at any other location of South Korea.

We have examined seasonal and annual means of clear-sky solar noon and daily erythemal ultraviolet-B irradiances measured in Anmyeon. The intensity of the EUV-B irradiance is mainly dependent on solar zenith angle (SZA) and total ozone amounts on clear day conditions. The daily maximum occurs near solar noon time and the highest monthly accumulated EUV-B is seen in July in Anmyeon. The maximum daily variation occurs in June and July due to precipitation and clouds. The 7-year trend of EUV-B irradiance shows that it is slightly increasing. Additionally, we could confirm that aerosol effects such as Asian Dust decreases the EUV-B irradiance reaching the ground surface by 35% to 60%. For more than 45% of the summer days, EUV-B irradiacne was high enough that the UV index registered higher than category Extremely High. This information will be very important for evaluation of the UV index for prevention of both skin cancer and ecosystem damages as well as to understand UV climatology over the Korean Peninsula.

Most solar photovoltaic (PV) modules frequently get shadowed, completely or partially, resulting in a reduction of PV generation. This paper presents and compares the results from simulations and experimental measurements of the power output from a single PV module under various shading conditions. The study was carried out with a 90 W PV module and a 250 W PV module. The shaded area was increased from 0 to 100% for both variable and constant irradiances to analyze the effect of fluctuations in the solar irradiance certain shading conditions. The effect of shading for irradiance levels from 100 to $900W/m^2$ was investigated. Results showed that for every $100W/m^2$ decrease in the solar irradiance level, the power output decreased by 9, 0.7 and 1.5 W at 0, 25 and 50% shading, respectively. For solar irradiance levels higher than $500W/m^2$, the temperature increased by 1.6, 2.7 and $1.1^{\circ}C$ at 0, 25 and 50% shading, respectively, for every $100W/m^2$ increase in the irradiance.

The growing global interest in energy saving is particularly evident in the building sector. The transmitted solar irradiance is an important input in the prediction of the building-energy load, but it is a value that is difficult to measure. In this paper, a calculation method, for which the total horizontal irradiance that can be easily measured is employed, for the measurement of the transmitted solar irradiance through windows is proposed. The method includes a direct and diffuse split model and a variable-transmittance model. The results of the proposed calculation model are compared with the TRNSYS-simulation results at each stage for the purpose of validation. The final results show that the CVRMSE over the year between the proposed model and the reference is less than 30 %, whereby the ASHRAE guideline was achieved.

지표 일사량 데이터는 신재생 에너지 자원지도 제작, 태양 에너지 관련 시설의 입지 선정 및 관련 정책의 기초 자료 및 농작물 생산량 예측 등의 매우 다양한 분야에 사용될 수 있는 중요한 데이터이며, 이에 최근 한국에서도 일사량 데이터 구축에 대한 연구의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 COMS-MI(천리안 기상위성) 영상과 Heliosat-II 방법을 이용하여 국내 일사량을 추정하고자, Heliosat-II 방법을 국내 데이터에 적합하도록 수정하고, 이를 통하여 일사량을 추정하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 COMS-MI 위성 영상 및 국내 기상 데이터 등을 확보하고 전처리를 수행하였다. 또한 Heliosat-II 방법의 입력 데이터이자 중간 결과물인 지표 반사도(ground albedo) 보정을 수행하고, 반사도 참조 지도(background albedo map)의 정확도를 높이고자 기존의 방법을 수정하였다. 그리고 이와 같이 수정된 Heliosat-II 방법을 통하여 추정 일사량을 도출하고, 이를 지상에서 관측된 일사량 실측치와의 비교를 통하여 정확도를 검증하였다. 실험 결과, 수정된 Heliosat-II 방법을 사용할 경우, 약 30.8%의 RMSE(%) 정확도를 나타내었으며, 기존 Heliosat-II 방법을 그대로 이용하였을 경우에 비하여 약 10% 수준의 향상된 정확도를 확보할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper is a study on the design of the solar lamp bank which is a very important part of the solar simulator with the commercial metal halide lamps and infrared lamps. Lamp Bank is designed by the lamp bank design program based on point light source theory. The reliability of the program for lamp bank design is verified through irradiance variation experiments of a kind of lamp according to horizontal distance. Solar lamp bank facilitates heat distribution and satisfies the irradiance in the three wave length which test guidelines require. The shape of the ceiling board next to the lamp bank to promote the lamp cooling efficiency and to reduce temperature deviation and air velocity deviation in the chamber is so creative. The ceiling board of partial closed type is the best among several types.

소규모 집수역에서 한낮 기온의 분포와 일사수광량 간 관계를 관찰하기 위해 고도 50m급 3곳, 100m급 3곳, 300m급 3곳 등 9지점의 사면에 경사향을 달리하여 무인기상관측기를 설치하고 1년간 매일 1500 기온과 직전 4시간(1100-1500) 일사량자료를 수집하였다. 운량이 0인 맑은 날에 한정하여 각 지점의 사면 일사수광량을 계산하고 1500 기온과 비교하였다. 이때 각 지점의 경사도(slope)와 경사향(aspect)은 $30{\times}30$ m 격자를 기준으로 반경이 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30개 격자로 평활화 하여 사용하였다. 1500 기온에 미치는 직전 4시간 일사수광량 간에는 통계적으로 유의한 회귀관계가 인정되었으며, 반경 25개 격자(750m)로 평활화한 경우 사면 기온변이의 54%를 설명할 수 있었다(y = 0.8309x + 0.0438, $r^2$ = 0.5444).
