C_corrFdKt: Correlations between the fraction of diffuse irradiation and the clearness index.

Description

A set of correlations between the fraction of diffuse irradiation and the clearness index used by fCompD and fCompI.

Usage

## Monthly means of daily values
FdKtPage(Ktd)
FdKtLJ(Ktd)
## Daily values
FdKtCPR(Ktd)
FdKtEKDd(Ktd, sol)
FdKtCLIMEDd(Ktd)
## Intradaily values
FdKtEKDh(kt)
FdKtCLIMEDh(kt)
FdKtBRL(kt, sol)

Arguments

Ktd

A numeric, the daily clearness index.

A numeric, the intradaily clearness index.

sol

A Sol object provided by calcSol or a zoo object provided by fSolD or fSolI.

Value
