Analysis of Direct Normal Insolation Resources in Korea

Since the direct normal insolation is a main factor for designing any solar thermal power system, it is necessary to evaluate its characteristics all over the country. We have begun collecting direct normal insolation data since December 1992 at 16 different locations and considerable effort has been made for constructing a standard value from measured data at each station. KIER(Korea Institute of Energy Research)'s new data will be extensively used by solar thermal concentrating system users or designers as well as by research institutes. From the results, we can conclude that 1) Yearly mean $2.67kWh/m^2/day$ of the all day's direct normal insolation was evaluated for all days all over the 16 areas in Korea. 2) All day's direct normal insolation of spring and summer were $2.91kWh/m^2/day$ and $2.23kWh/m^2/day$, and for fall and winter their values were $2.78kWh/m^2/day$ and $2.77kWh/m^2/day$ respectively. So, spring, fall and winter were higher, and summer was lower than the yearly mean value.
