Interdependence of Factors Affecting Intensity of Incident Solar Radiation during Solar Eclipse

Abstract

Solar eclipses are one of those rare yet predictable events which bear the potential to render impacts on the functioning of a solar power plant. Solar radiation being the input to a solar power plant, plays a vital role in the quality of power generated. However, this input radiation is useful only when the intensity is adequate enough to generate power. The intensity of solar radiation depends on various key factors but in context of a solar eclipse, there are certain additional factors that need necessary consideration without which the analysis can be incomplete and unintelligible. This paper shall at first introduce all such qualitative factors on which the intensity of solar radiation depends during any regular day and thereafter extend the study to a day with a solar eclipse. The qualitative interdependence of all these factors shall then be discussed with a view point of establishing a basis for the derivation of a relation between the same. In reality there are numerous factors affecting the incident radiation but the factors considered for this study shall be broadly restricted to location or latitude, time of the day or relative altitude of the sun and moon, time of the year or sidereal position of the earth, cloud cover, apparent diameter of the celestial bodies on the day of eclipse, magnitude and obscuration of the eclipse.
