A comparison of experimental and estimated data analyses of solar radiation, in Adiyaman, Turkey

Abstract

Abstract-The world's main energy source is the sun. Other energy sources are caused directly or indirectly from the sun. Turkey has a rich potential in terms of solar energy and interest in solar power systems is increasing in the rapidly evolving technology. In all of the solar energy studies needs solar radiation data but solar radiation measurements are not possible on each area. Therefore, estimation of the solar radiation by using a variety of methods is emerging importance. In this study, Turkey and Adiyaman solar energy potential is investigated and statistical analysis was performed for Adiyaman. Various parameters were estimated by using actual solar radiation data from the Meteorology and experimental data were compared with theoretical ones. According to the results of the statistical analyzes, Adiyaman data indicate the best fit with the cubic model.

Turkey’s Energy Strategy for 2023 Targets after 2000 MW Giant Renewable Energy Contract

“…Turkey's average annual sunshine duration were measured 2640 hours (a total of 7.2 hours per day), and the average total solar radiation was calculated as 1311 kWh/m-²year (daily total of 3.6 kWh /m² [9]) Turkey's solar map is given in the Figure 2 and average solar radiation and total sunshine durations is given in Table 2. East and south-east Anatolia region are two of the most solar potential of Turkey but the other five regions are in a quite good condition when compared to European countries [16]. The state provides a purchase guarantee for a 1-kWh electric energy generated from unlicensed solar power plants for a 10-year period of $ 13.3 cents and agreements are renewed every 10 years.…”
