Turbidity estimation

A transferable turbidity estimation method for estimating clear-sky solar irradiance

A transferable turbidity estimation method is proposed for estimating the turbidity and clear-sky solar irradiance. Instead of using on-site irradiance measurements (i.e., the local model), a transferable model is developed involving stations with …

Improved turbidity estimation from local meteorological data for solar resourcing and forecasting applications

This work presents a new method to estimate atmospheric turbidity with improved accuracy in estimating clear-sky irradiance. The turbidity is estimated by machine learning algorithms using commonly measured meteorological data including ambient air …
