Solar radiation is the key factor that affects general circulation and climate change.Direct solar radiation is the important component part of total solar radiation.From observing or taking measurement of an angle, direct solar radiation generally includes radiation and the sun scattered radiation of very narrow annular sky (a ring day scattering) around on vertical sun surface (approximately 0.5 °, visual angle).To direct solar radiation intensity, the measurement of irradiance in other words has important value in aerological sounding, sun power utilization and other field relevant to solar radiation, and therefore direct solar radiation intensity is the routine monitoring data of meteorological department.
The direct measurement of direct solar radiation intensity at present, is to utilize direct solar radiation table.Direct solar radiation table is mainly made up of light-intaking tube, induction pieces and tracking means conventionally.In the time of work, light-intaking tube is aimed at the sun; Induction pieces absorbs direct solar radiation and converts thereof into measurable electric signal; Tracking means also can be followed the tracks of the movement of the sun for supporting light-intaking tube, thereby makes light-intaking tube accurately follow the tracks of and aim at the sun.
For such direct solar radiation table, the small tracing deviation of tracking means will produce larger system deviation.Like this, in order to eliminate the impact of system tracking error, require direct solar radiation table can in real time, quickly and reliably follow the tracks of the sun.This requires highly to tracking means, and operation and maintenance is also very complicated.
Observation and the measurement of number when an application of direct solar radiation table is counterglow.Be that solar radiation shows the most intuitively sunshine.Sunshine time refers to the time number of the sun in an actual irradiation in ground, and it is defined as direct solar radiation intensity and meets or exceeds 120W/m 2the summation of that time, taking hour as unit, gets a decimal.The regularity of distribution of sunshine time, has important practical significance for rational deployment agricultural production, the construction that plans a city, exploitation tourist resources, design solar power station etc.Because direct solar radiation table can obtain the direct solar radiation intensity in any appointment moment, therefore, it can directly be used for Timing measurement direct solar radiation intensity add up sunshine time.
During due to counterglow, the measurement of number does not need to obtain each moment direct solar radiation intensity accurately, only needs to judge whether direct solar radiation intensity meets or exceeds 120W/m 2this threshold value, therefore also has some not use the sunshine time observation program of direct solar radiation table in prior art.
Sunshine time observation instrument based on burning trace method mainly contains dark-tube sunshine recorder and focusing sunshine recorder.This is the observation instrument at sunshine that most domestic meteorological station uses at present.But the traffic observation of dark cartridge type and focusing sunshine recorder be unable to do without manual operation, as heliogramma needs manual manufacture, installation and replacing, sunshine time need to carry out artificial judgment etc. according to sunlight path (or burnt trace), and this makes the automaticity of the type instrument lower.
Sunshine time observation instrument based on actinometry method, except aforesaid beam radia off-balancesheet, also has bimetallic strip sunshine recorder etc.The bimetallic strip that bimetallic strip sunshine recorder adopts is mechanical deformation type element, is subject to the temperature effect impact of expanding and shrinking, and repeatability is poor, and long-time stability are difficult to ensure, causes the type sensor measurement precision not high.
In addition, the CSD type sun heliograph of Kipp & Zonen company of Holland utilizes three electronic light sensing devices to measure total solar irradiance and scattering irradiance, the difference of recycling solar global irradiance and scattering irradiance obtains the direct irradiance of the sun, and the direct irradiance of this sun can be used to statistics and calculates sunshine time.China Meterological Science Research Institute designed a kind of sunshine recorder that utilizes integrating sphere principle and calculated sunshine time.But due to some shortcomings separately, all fail to be used widely in business.
