In this study, a statistical characterization of annual solar irradiation series is presented which can be used as input in risk assessment for securing competitive financing for solar power projects. To perform this task, an analysis of annual Direct Normal solar Irradiation (DNI) and Global Horizontal solar Irradiation (GHI) probability...

The present paper presents a very simple energy yield model fitted using the annual DNI and the latitude as main inputs, considering a solar tower CSP plant, with 100 MW of net energy output and 6 hours of thermal storage. Furthermore, a mask of suitable areas for CSP power tower installations in Chile is also shown. The mapping of...
