Several\nclear-sky solar radiation models have been developed over the last few decades.\nMost of these models are based on empirical distribution of various\ngeographical parameters; while a few models consider various atmospheric\neffects in the solar energy estimation. In this paper, we perform a comparative\nanalysis of several popular clear-sky models, in the tropical region of\nSingapore. This is important in countries like Singapore, where we are\nprimarily focused on reliable and efficient solar energy generation. We analyze\nand compare three popular clear-sky models that are widely used in the\nliterature. We validate our solar estimation results using actual solar\nirradiance measurements obtained from collocated weather stations. We finally\nconclude the most reliable clear sky model for Singapore, based on all clear\nsky days in a year.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1708.08760v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1708.08760v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"study-of-clear-sky-models-for-singapore","repo_url":"https://github.com/Soumyabrata/clear-sky-models","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
