A prefeasibility study of a solar power plant project was carried out in order to study and search the best location to install a concentrated solar power plant according to a tender with the Algerian electricity company "SPE" following a specific criteria and methodology in order to obtain a site with a maximum possible irradiation along with other economic constraints. Normally, eleven years of solar irradiation data from an on-ground weather station is needed for site assessment, such data are not available, hence the typical meteorological year irradiation based on satellite imagery results is needed in order to have the accurate value, therefore we can give the right evaluation for the site candidate. Additionally, an analysis of a weather measurement station was carried out to ensure the proper functioning of the weather data reception and analysis processes, and thus to optimize the algorithm of a data logger in order to get the right measurement with a minimum error. The correction algorithm was developed by weather scientists and was added to the data logger main program.

“…At night or in the darkness, the pyranometer sometimes gives a negative result; thus, a correction is recommended in order to obtain a realistic result [7,11,18,31]. Hence, if the result is negative, the global horizontal irradiation is null.…”

“…In order to forecast Photovoltaic output, it is necessary to carry out the forecast of irradiance that expresses the strength level of solar radiation energy. Representative existing researches conducted on the irradiance estimation include direct/diffuse decomposition model (Liu and Jordan, 1960), and cloud cover radiation model (Kasten and Czeplak, 1980), meteorological radiation model (Sherry and Justus, 1983). Based on those early works, the transmittance of cloud can be additionally applied using albedo obtained from current satellite data.…”

“…The only problem with simple models is that most of them are based on statistical analysis of empirical meteorological data collected at one or more stations, making them very site specific. Examples of models of the second category include those of Nielsen et al [7], Sherry and Justus [8,9], Turner and Mujahid [10], Cerquetti et al [11], Rangarajan et al [12] and Topcu and Oney [13].…”

A simple and easily implementable model and the associated computer code for predicting the solar irradiance at the earth’s surface have been developed. The input requirements of the model include Julian day, time, geographical latitude, atmospheric pressure and cloud cover. If the latter is not available, then the program user has the option of entering either the daily global solar flux or the duration of sunshine, from which the average cloud cover is estimated. Preliminary model evaluation has been carried out using data from two meteorological stations situated in rural and semi-rural areas of the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The scatter plots of predicted versus observed solar irradiance gave correlation coefficients approximately equal to 0.6 and slopes in the range of 0.80–0.93. The model is being implemented as a submodule within an urban air quality model. This specific application of the solar radiation model is discussed as a typical implementation. This work shows that by adopting relatively simple ‘textbook’ material, i.e., basic theory/information, one can achieve reasonably good solar radiation modelling, with outcomes that can be used for applications where accuracy is not a major requirement.
