Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) is the measurement of the intensity of sunlight on a surface perpendicular (normal) to the sun, as such, in very clear sky conditions and low solar altitudes, the Direct Normal Irradiance can be higher than the

Abstract: The Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), being the energy source for solar thermal power plants, can remarkably impact the reliability and efficiency of these plants because of its

Solar power significantly depends on the solar irradiance, such as the global horizontal irradiance (GHI) for PV plants and the direct normal irradiance (DNI) for CST plants [ 6 ], and thus the solar power output forecast can be transformed into a solar irradiance (GHI or DNI) forecast [ 7, 8, 9 ]. In this study, we focus on a DNI forecast.
Important role of circumsolar radiation in DNI. The direct irradiance received on a plane normal to the sun, called direct normal irradiance (DNI), is of particular relevance to concentrated solar technologies, including concentrating solar thermal plants and concentrated photovoltaic systems.
The direct irradiance received on a plane normal to the sun over the total solar spectrum is defined as direct normal irradiance (DNI).
The term solar irradiance represents the power from the sun that reaches a surface per unit area. Direct irradiance is the part of the solar irradiance that directly reaches a surface; diffuse irradiance is the part that is scattered by the atmosphere; global irradiance is the sum of both diffuse and direct components reaching the same surface.
In the Global Solar Atlas, we provide three magnitudes related to solar irradiation: GHI and DIF are referred to a surface horizontal to the ground, while DNI is referred to a surface perpendicular to the Sun. Higher values of DIF/GHI ratio represent a higher occurrence of clouds, higher atmospheric pollution or higher water vapor content.
In parallel, standard DNI measurements using procedures that follow the WMO-recommended geometry—in terms of slope and limit angles—always need to be carried out for solar resource assessment and performance monitoring.
