[0036] (1) Data acquisition: Obtain cloud amount and solar radiation prediction data from EC and CMA-MESO;

[0037] (2) Application of Algorithm 1:

[0038] ① Determine the start time and end time of sunshine hours according to the preset time period division;

[0039] ② Convert the low cloud amount prediction data to a 1-hour resolution through 3-hour linear interpolation; specifically, for example, if the original is 50% at 08:00 and 20% at 11:00, linearly interpolate to 40% at 09:00 and 30% at 10:00;

[0050] (2) From the winter solstice + 25 days to the vernal equinox - 10 days, from the vernal equinox - 10 days to the summer solstice, from the summer solstice to the summer solstice + 30 days, from the summer solstice + 30 days to the autumnal equinox - 20 days, from the autumnal equinox - 20 days to the autumnal equinox + 35 days to the winter solstice + 25 days.

[0051] Preferably, the solar radiation calculation formula in Algorithm 2 includes:

[0052] (1) The calculation formula for the solar radiation H0 above the atmosphere is as follows:

[0053]

[0054] In the formula: G SC is the solar constant, E0 is the correction factor for the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, Φ is the latitude, δ is the solar declination, W S is the hour angle.

[0055] In this embodiment, E0 = 1.00011 + 0.034221cosτ + 0.00128sinτ + 0.00719cos2τ + 0.000077sin2τ, δ = (180 / π)·(0.006918 - 0.399912cosτ + 0.070257sinτ - 0.006758cos2τ + 0.000907sin2τ - 0.002697cos3τ +

[0057]

[0058] The time interval between sunrise and sunset is the day length (SL). Assuming the solar altitude angle is 0 at sunrise and sunset, then:

[0059] S L = (2 / 15)·W S .

[0060] (2) The calculation formula for solar radiation (H L ) under clear sky conditions on the ground is as follows:

[0061] H L = H0·τa·τb

[0063] In this embodiment, H L = 0.8×H0, HL is the total ground radiation under clear sky conditions; the daily solar radiation calculation formula is: H = H L ×(a + b×S / S L ), where: H is the measured daily total radiation, HL is the daily total radiation under clear sky conditions. S and S L are the sunshine hours and day length respectively, a is 0.248, b is 0.752; therefore, the formula for calculating sunshine hours is: S = ((H / H L - a) / b) / S L .

[0064] Furthermore, in the inspection and comparison step, the root mean square error and mean absolute error are used as evaluation indicators, and the algorithm with smaller error is selected as the optimal algorithm.

[0065] Furthermore, in the forecast output step, the generated forecast results include daily sunshine hour values and their corresponding confidence intervals, and are displayed through a graphical interface.
