[TRNSYS-users] Type 109 vs type 15



Dear Trnsys-users,

For an analysis of Belgium weather data, I constructed weather files using the Trnsys type 109 and 15 and the meteonorm file for Uccle, Belgium. Making a summation of the resulting radiation on vertical planes facing N, E, S and W, I notices big differences. The table below indicates this :


T-drybulb I_tot_hor-1 I_tot_hor-2 I_tot_N I_tot_E I_tot_S I_tot_W
Datareader 15-6 	9,73 	3416548 	3416548 	2302065 	3075940 	3625084 	3081463
Datareader 109 	9,73 	3416548 	3416296 	1192961 	2087489 	2720244 	2076203
Datareader 15-2 	9,73 	3416548 	3416548 	2302065 	3075940 	3625084 	3081463

	
	
	
	
	
	
	
Difference 15vs109 -5,91E-05 0,088266 251,4136 1109105 988451 904839,9 1005260

	0,00% 	0,00% 	0,01% 	48,18% 	32,13% 	24,96% 	32,62%


The two horizontal radiation values are : 1)directly provided by the weather file and 2)processed using a plane with slope 0° Am I doing something obvious wrong? Because the results are cearly too different to be acceptable.
The dck files is included.

Many thanks,

Maarten Sourbron
