The Generation of Typical Meteorological Year for Tripoli, Libya

Yosof Khalifa, Farag Alargt.


Abstract
In this paper a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY) of Tripoli city, the capital of Libya was presented and analyzed using twelve year of measured weather data, this data includes global solar radiation, air temperature and wind speed. Th measurements were taken every ten minutes. Finkelstein–Schafer statistical method was applied to analyze the data and obtain the TMY for the site. Typical Meteorological Months (TMMs) were selected by choosing the one with the least deviation from the long-term cumulativedistribution function. A close-fi agreement is observed between the generated TMY and the long-term averages. Ths TMY generated will be very useful tool for optimal design and performance evaluation of solar energy conversion systems, heating, wind, and other renewable energy systems to be located in this part of Libya.

Key words: Typical Meteorological Year, TMY, Tripoli-Libya, statistical method, Solar radiation, Wind speed, Air temperature
