Introduction
Interpretation of GB/T 33677-2017 National Standard of the People's Republic of China
Background and Significance of Standard Formulation
GB/T 33677-2017 "Direct Radiation of Solar Energy Resource Levels" is an important specification for the evaluation and zoning of direct radiation resources of solar energy. It was proposed and managed by the Wind Energy Solar Energy Climate Resources Sub-Technical Committee of the National Technical Committee for Climate and Climate Change Standardization. The standard aims to provide a unified technical basis for the scientific evaluation of solar energy resources and promote the sustainable development of my country's solar energy industry.
With the transformation of the global energy structure, the importance of solar energy as a clean energy has become increasingly prominent. Direct radiation is one of the core indicators for measuring the potential of solar energy resources. Its accurate classification has important guiding significance for photovoltaic power generation efficiency and project site selection.
Standard Framework and Core Contents
1. Standard Scope and Reference Documents
This standard applies to the evaluation and zoning of direct solar radiation resources, involving key terms such as total radiation, irradiance, and irradiance. The main referenced documents include GB/T 31155 "Solar Resource Level Total Radiation".
2. Core Terms and Definitions
| Terms | Definition |
|---|---|
| Direct Normal Radiation (DNR) | Direct radiation received on a plane perpendicular to the sun's rays. |
| Direct Horizontal Radiation (DHR) | Direct radiation received on the horizontal plane. Calculation formula: $D_{H} = D_{N} \cdot \sin h$. |
| Global Solar Radiation (GSR) | The sum of direct radiation and diffuse radiation received by the plane within a 2π solid angle range from above. |
3. Classification indicators and standard thresholds
The standard uses three core indicators to classify solar direct radiation resources: annual normal direct radiation irradiance ($H_{DN}$), normal direct radiation stability ($R_{wd}$) and direct ratio ($R_{D}$). The specific classification is as follows:
| Indicator | Grade | Grading threshold |
|---|---|---|
| Annual normal direct radiation exposure ($H_{DN}$) | Grade A | $H_{DN} \geq 1700 \, kWh/m²$ or $H_{PN} \geq 6120 \, MJ/m²$ |
| Normal direct radiation stability ($R_{wd}$) | Grade B | 0.5 ≤ $R_{wd}$ < 0.7 |
| Class C | 0.3 ≤ $R_{wd}$ < 0.5 |
Implementation recommendations and practical applications
1. Data collection and analysis
In practical applications, it is necessary to combine the long-term observation data of meteorological stations to evaluate the direct solar radiation resources. It is recommended to use a calibrated radiometer (Radiation Meter) to measure direct radiation and diffuse radiation, and calculate the direct radiation ratio.
2. Zoning and resource optimization allocation
Based on the standard classification results, it is recommended to prioritize the layout of solar power stations in Class A and Class B resource areas. At the same time, according to the different levels of stability and direct radiation ratio characteristics, select appropriate photovoltaic modules and tracking systems (Solar Tracking System) to improve power generation efficiency.
3. Analysis of future technological evolution
With the advancement of solar energy technology, it is recommended to further optimize the irradiation calculation model and combine satellite remote sensing data (Satellite Remote Sensing) to achieve larger-scale resource assessment. In addition, explore the improvement space of direct radiation prediction algorithms to improve resource utilization efficiency.
