摘要：

This study develops numerical models to estimate the solar radiation in Birao, Central African Republic and evaluates the feasibility of a concentrating solar power (CSP) plant. Three solar radiation estimation models are assessed using statistical performance metrics. The Capderou model shows the best accuracy with mean absolute deviation of 14% and root mean square deviation of 17%. The model is applied with three sun-tracking modes, with the north-south axis mode having the lowest RMSD of 7% in estimating direct normal irradiance. A techno-economic analysis indicates that the solar resource in Birao can support a CSP plant. The developed estimation tool can help optimize the siting and sizing of CSP systems to enable greater solar energy utilization.
