Influence of Various Irradiance Models and Their Combination on Simulation Results of Photovoltaic Systems

We analyze the output of various state-of-the-art irradiance models for photovoltaic systems. The models include two sun position algorithms, three types of input data time series, nine diffuse fraction models and five transposition models (for tilted surfaces), resulting in 270 different model chai...
