This paper presents a case study of Weibull and Hargreaves methods used to determine the wind speed characteristic and solar radiation pattern in Perlis the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia. These two methods are then used to analyze the data of wind and solar that recorded using Davis Vantage Pro2 Weather Station. This paper also discusses the correlation of these two methods in determining the wind and solar energy. Through this case study, this paper conclude that these methods is highly recommended to determine and analyze the potential of wind and solar energy.
This paper provides a case study in solar radiation and the potential evaluation of solar energy harvesting at 6. 431°N, 100.185°E, in Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia. As a state located in the Northern region, Perlis is highly potential in the development of a solar energy harvesting system. However,in order to start harvesting the solar energy as an alternative electricity utility source, it is essential to investigate the amount of solar radiation received at the location beforehand. This paper, defines the parameters of solar radiation and shows the geometrical relationship of its natural resources in order to determine the potentiality. The value of solar radiation was collected from the installed weather station and from the calculation based on the equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
