%0 Journal Article %T About Solar Radiation Intensity Measurements and Data Processing %A GORDAN Ioan Mircea %A MICH-VANCEA Claudiu %J Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering %D 2012 %I Editura Universit??ii din Oradea %X Measuring the intensity of solar radiation is one of the directions of investigation necessary for the implementation of photovoltaic systems in a particular geographical area. This can be done by using specific measuring equipment (pyranometer) sensors based onthermal or photovoltaic principle. In this paper it is presented a method for measuring solar radiation (which has two main components - direct radiation and diffuse radiation) with sensors based on photovoltaic principle. Such data are processed for positioning solarpanels, in order their efficiency to be maximized. %K solar radiation %K virtual instrument %K solar radiation sensor %K database %U http://electroinf.uoradea.ro/images/articles/CERCETARE/Reviste/JEEE/JEEE_V5_N2_OCT_2012/Gordan%20oct2012.pdf
