ForecastModel.cloud_cover_to_irradiance_liujordan(cloud_cover, **kwargs)[source]

Estimates irradiance from cloud cover in the following steps:

  1. Determine transmittance using a function of cloud cover e.g. cloud_cover_to_transmittance_linear()
  2. Calculate GHI, DNI, DHI using the pvlib.irradiance.liujordan() model
Parameters:

cloud_cover : Series
Returns:

irradiance : DataFrame

Columns include ghi, dni, dhi
