Optical modeling for a two-stage parabolic trough concentrating photovoltaic/thermal system using spectral beam splitting technology (2010, methodology): “[19] proposed a sunshape model that is independent of geographic location and described an algorithm, which can be used to model different sunshapes for simulating solar concentrating systems,”
Direct normal irradiance related definitions and applications: The circumsolar issue (2014, background): “(11), with a = as = al = ds and: Bsunn ¼ Bidealn ða ¼ dsÞ 2p Z ds 0 LðnÞ sinðnÞdn: ð12Þ With this definition, used by Buie et al. (2003a) for instance, the small fraction of diffuse radiance within the solar disk is included.”
