New and Improved Methods to Characterize, Classify, and Estimate Daily Sky Conditions for Solar Energy Applications

Firstly, this dissertation proposes a new characterization and classification method for daily sky conditions by using the daily sky clearness index (KD) and the daily probability of persistence (POP-KD) that can be derived from ground-based irradiance measurement data. Quality of daily solar irradi...
