“…In the present study, PSO is used to compare the solution quality with the HS algorithm. The model equations are evaluated using mean percentage error (MPE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), mean absolute bias error (MABE), and root mean square error (RMSE), which are defined as below [36][37][38][39][40][41][42]:…”

Solar energy technologies play an important role in shaping a sustainable energy future, and generating clean, renewable, and widely distributed energy sources. This paper determines the optimum tilt angle and optimum azimuth angle of photovoltaic (PV) panels, employing the harmony search (HS) meta-heuristic algorithm. In this study, the ergodic method is first conducted to obtain the optimum tilt angle and the optimum azimuth angle in several cities of China based on the model of Julian dating. Next, the HS algorithm is applied to search for the optimum solution. The purpose of this research is to maximize the extraterrestrial radiation on the collector surface for a specific period. The sun's position is predicted by the proposed model at different times, and then solar radiation is obtained on various inclined planes with different orientations in each city. The performance of the HS method is compared with that of the ergodic method and other optimization algorithms. The results demonstrate that the tilt angle should be changed once a month, and the best orientation is usually due south in the selected cities. In addition, the HS algorithm is a practical and reliable alternative for estimating the optimum tilt angle and optimum azimuth angle of PV panels.

“…Wu et al [12] used the metrological data from 1994 to 2005 of Nanchang station, China to predict daily global solar radiation from sunshine hours, air temperature, total precipitation and dew point. Buluta and Büyükalaca [13] proposed a simple model for estimation of monthly average of daily global solar radiation on horizontal surface for 68 provinces of Turkey with a high accuracy. Janjai et al [14] proposed a model for calculating the monthly average hourly global radiation in the tropics with high aerosol load using satellite data.…”

The instantaneous solar radiation flux density incident on the horizontal surface near the ground, consisted of three sections, direct radiation, scattered radiation, and thermal radiation flowing down through the atmosphere, directly or indirectly comes from the sun. The dynamics of the solar radiation flux density incident on the horizontal surface near the ground influence all life processes and environment. In this study, the daily variation law of solar radiation flux density incident on the horizontal surface developed. The results showed that generally, sky conditions is stable, and the daily dynamic in the solar radiation flux density incident on the horizontal surface near the ground is the function of time, and can be described by a normal distribution model in a day. The main parameters of the model change with date and the meteorological conditions in a day.

“…In order to achieve this, several empirical models have been developed to predict the solar radiation all over the world using various parameters. These parameters include extraterrestrial radiation, sunshine hours, mean temperature, maximum temperature, soil temperature, relative humidity, number of rainy days, altitude, latitude and cloudiness [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
