Abstract:
The growing demand of energy in our life pushes humanity into using renewable energy
including solar energy.
Quantifying the solar radiation is the data set describing the evolution of the solar radiation
at a given place and during a given period. Its study is the starting point of any investigation in the
field of solar energy.
And our objectif in this work is to develop relationships between available meteorological
data and solar irradiation , and to develop models to predict solar irradiation for the Bejaia site .
Data of the different parameters was obtained from NASA , Afterwards, a multiple linear and
nonlinear regression was applied to one part of these four meteorological data sets in different
combinations yielding several relationships and models that were verified and validated using the
second part of the data .
The various global solar irradiation prediction models obtained can be used in the design and
performance estimation of solar applications in Bejaia as well as in the optimization and optimal
sizing of solar systems.
