Abstract

This article describes a general mathematical procedure for generating synthetic daily solar irradiation values. The procedure should be useful for simulating solar energy systems, requiring only the 12 monthly means (K_t), as input. The procedure is based on a time series analysis of the daily K_t values, described in the article. It incorporates the well-known probability distribution function for K_t, by using a transformed variable, rather than K_t, as the fundamental random quantity.
