Abstract

Solar radiation resource data serve as
fundamental information for programs of large-scale deployment of solar energy
technologies. While solar resources in the Republic of Uzbekistan are estimated
to be significant based on limited information, comprehensive understanding
requires considerably more data and analysis in order to optimize the process
of planning and siting solar energy power plants. This paper highlights the
analysis of the four-year of solar resource measurements from new ground meteorological
stations in Uzbekistan which were installed within the framework of the project
of the Asian Development Bank TA 8008 "Development of solar energy in
Uzbekistan" in 2013.The current study should have significant applications
for preliminary technology selection, power plant modeling, and resource
forecasting. The analysis uses4-year (January 2013–December 2016) data from 6
stations located in the south-eastern part of the republic based on ten-minute
measurements of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI), Diffuse Horizontal
Irradiance (DHI), Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), and related meteorological
parameters.

Keywords
