This Brief Note presents a general and efficient clustered-based methodology for the generation of high-frequency coupled global horizontal irradiance (GHI) and direct normal irradiance (DNI) series, based on the envelope clear sky and Dynamic Paths concepts. The procedure for generating 1-min synthetic irradiance data assumes that the effect...

The feasibility analysis of any power plant project needs the estimation of the amount of energy it will be able to deliver to the grid during its lifetime. To achieve this, its feasibility study requires a precise knowledge of the solar resource over a long term period. In Concentrating Solar Power projects (CSP), financing institutions...
