MeteoSyn Climate Generator Module for T*SOL Professional, T*SOL Expert and PV*SOL
MeteoSyn can be used for the following purposes:
- to input your own climate data and generate hourly values
- to load monthly data for locations worldwide from the MeteoSyn database and generate hourly values
- to add more locations to the MeteoSyn database
With MeteoSyn you can use monthly values for radiation and temperature to generate the hourly values required to run a T*SOL / PV*SOL simulation. The MeteoSyn database contains monthly mean values for approx. 2,000 locations worldwide. By simply entering the monthly mean values for any new location, you can extend the database. If you do not know the monthly values for a particular location, you can go to the NASA website to obtain monthly values for radiation and temperature for additional locations.
After loading data for a location from the database or entering the monthly mean values, the hourly values for T*SOL / PV*SOL are created and saved in the Meteo folder of the programme directory. If you then go back into T*SOL / PV*SOL, you can load the climate file for the new location direct from the T*SOL / PV*SOL load weather file dialogue window.
