ABSTRACT:
The principal objectives of this task were to:
• Collect solar energy data pertinent to the continental u. s.
• Calculate the direct normal radiation from available total
(direct + diffuse) radiation measurements using the method of Liu and Jordan; and draw contours of equal direct
• Identify, from the radiation maps, geographic regions receiving the highest radiation at the surface.
• Collect and analyze climatic data applicable to the identified regions.
• Recommend, based on both solar energy and climatic criteria, one or two of these regions as the best general location(s) for a solar power plant. (A specific site will be selected in Task
1. 2 using as a basis the non-solar site selection criteria developed in Task 1. 1. 2. )
