    Diffuse irradiance on tilted planes in urban environments: evaluation of models modified with sky and circumsolar view factors
    (Elsevier, 2021) García Ruiz, Ignacio; Blas Corral, María Ángeles de; Hernández Salueña, Begoña; Sáenz Gamasa, Carlos; Torres Escribano, José Luis; Ingeniaritza; Zientziak; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ingeniería; Ciencias
    Numerous studies have analyzed existing irradiance models for estimating sky diffuse irradiance on tilted planes. However, few have evaluated the suitability of these models for estimating irradiance in obstructed environments, specifically considering the effects of obstacles. In this study, three irradiance models —one of them with five variants— for estimating diffuse irradiance on tilted planes located in urban environments were evaluated. All models have been adapted to consider the effect of an urban canyon on the diffuse irradiance received on a tilted plane through the sky view factor and the circumsolar view factor. All the models were evaluated against the diffuse irradiance values obtained by the ISO 15469:2004(E)/CIE S 011/E:2003 angular distribution model. Therefore, it was necessary to determine the standard sky type corresponding to each record of the measurements performed by a sky scanner at the radiometric station of UPNA (Spain). A total of 4,864 scenarios were considered to occur from the combination of different orientations and inclinations of the plane, and different orientations and aspect ratios of the urban canyon. The results revealed that the Perez model considering a 35° half-angle circumsolar region has the best performance, followed by the Perez model considering a 45° half-angle circumsolar region.

    A full sky High Dynamic Range imaging system, based on a Single-Lens Reflex camera with a fisheye lens, has been constructed and calibrated with a sky scanner luminance meter. The method considers the geometrical, spectral, timing and orientation issues between instruments. The calibration data sets, having nearly simultaneous measurements under stable sky conditions, were obtained from approximately one month of data using selection variables based in the experimental design. For luminance estimation we use the standard 𝐶𝐼𝐸𝑌 RGB combination and a Spectrally Matched Luminance (𝑆𝑀𝐿) predictor, matching the spectral response of the instruments. With 738 calibration points having luminances up to 23.6 kcd∕m2, covering 98.5% of the sky luminance range, 𝐶𝐼𝐸𝑌 is linearly correlated with sky scanner measurements with a coefficient of determination 𝑅2 = 0.9927 and a Root Mean Squared Error (𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸) of 7.7%. 𝑆𝑀𝐿 gives better results, with 𝑅2 = 0.9973 and 𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸 = 5.3%. With 253 calibration points with luminances up to 12.9 kcd∕m2, comprising 94.1% of the sky luminance range, both predictors clearly improve, with 𝑅2 = 0.9964 and 𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸 = 4.1% in case of 𝐶𝐼𝐸𝑌 and 𝑅2 = 0.9982 and 𝑅𝑀𝑆𝐸 = 2.9% in case of 𝑆𝑀𝐿.

    Evaluación comparativa de 19 modelos de estimación de irradiancia difusa sobre planos inclinados dependiendo del tipo de cielo estándar ISO/CIE
    (LNEG, 2020) García Ruiz, Ignacio; Torres Escribano, José Luis; Blas Corral, María Ángeles de; Sáenz Gamasa, Carlos; Hernández Salueña, Begoña; Illanes, R.; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Ciencias; Zientziak
    En este trabajo se han evaluado 19 modelos de estimación de irradiancia difusa sobre el plano inclinado, que incluyen tanto modelos isotrópicos o pseudoisotrópicos como modelos anisotrópicos. Dicha evaluación se ha llevado a cabo a partir una serie de 5396 observaciones de irradiancia global, difusa y directa realizadas entre julio y diciembre de 2018 en la estación radiométrica de la Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA). El estado del cielo correspondiente a cada observación se ha caracterizado de acuerdo con el CIE Standard General Sky propuesto en la norma ISO 15469:2004(E)/CIE S 011/E:2003. Para esta clasificación se han utilizado las medidas de distribución angular de luminancia y radiancia proporcionadas por un escáner de cielo ubicado en la propia estación de la UPNA. De tal manera que, para cada combinación de orientación e inclinación del plano, se ha evaluado la bondad de los distintos modelos de acuerdo con los 15 tipos de cielo estándar propuestos por la norma ISO/CIE. Los resultados revelan que el modelo de Perez et al. 2 presenta los mejores resultados globales, así como en 5 de los 15 tipos de cielo ISO/CIE.

    Evaluation of two procedures for selecting the CIE standard sky type using high dynamic range images
    (International Solar Energy Society, 2019) García Ruiz, Ignacio; Blas Corral, María Ángeles de; Torres Escribano, José Luis; Hernández Salueña, Begoña; Sáenz Gamasa, Carlos; Ormazábal Pagola, Mikel; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Ciencias; Zientziak; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
    The characterization of sky conditions according to the CIE Standard General Sky classification requires knowledge of diffuse luminance angular distribution in the sky vault. This variable is usually measured by sky scanners. However, commercial sky scanners have different drawbacks related to their resolution and measurement time. An alternative to these devices is the use of sky images captured with a digital camera equipped with a fisheye lens. The range of luminances that may occur in the sky makes it necessary to use high dynamic range (HDR) images obtained by the fusion of a series of low dynamic range (LDR) images. Two procedures for the characterization of sky conditions according to the CIE standard using HDR images have been applied and evaluated.
