This paper aims to evaluate the potential of renewable energy sources of solar and wind in three free economic and industrial zones of Chabahar, Kish and Salafchegan in Iran. Feasibility of harnessing solar energy was investigated by using key solar parameters like monthly mean global, beam and...

The aim of this study was to develop a new and automatic method for controlling the quality of daily global solar radiation, Gd, using sunshine duration hours. The new method has three levels of tests: first, Gd is compared against daily extraterrestrial radiation that is received on a...

To meet a part of the buildings energy demands, the buildings’ exterior walls are proper places for installation of vertically mounting solar surfaces (VMSS). In this study, using long-term horizontal global solar radiation data and the Klein and Theilacke radiation model, the solar radiation...
