| Summary: | There has been an increasing world interest in clean renewable energies (mainly
solar radiation and wind energies) due to the minimal environmental problems
resulting from their uses. The continuous depletion of traditional and conventional
energy resources and the growing world concern about the environment have led to
an extensive research and development efforts in order to improve the energy
conversion efficiencies and economics of utilization solar energy devices.
However, it is important to identify the potential of available energy resources on
the site where renewable energy is to be utilized.
Meteorological information is critical to the assessment of the energy resources
available and to the performance of many different types of renewable energy
systems. Potential of the renewable energy available is strongly influenced by
climatic factors such as air temperature, relative humidity, sunshine duration and
natural energy supply. Solar radiation is strongly weather dependent. In the United
Arab Emirates weather conditions are monitored by meteorological stations across the country and weather data are collected by various meteorological agencies. |
