Re: [TRNSYS-users] Entering hourly solar incidents of the whole year using Data Readers



Simge,
When you say "solar incidents" I am not sure whether you mean incident solar radiation or solar incidence angle. However, Type9 is able to read 98 different variables (columns_ from a single external data file. However, that data file can have as many records (rows) in it as you like. If you have a value of solar radiation incident on a particular window measured once every 15 minutes for 2 years, you would have a data file with a single column and 70080 rows (8760 hours * 4 records per hour * 2 years).
Kind regards,
 David

Dear TRNSYS users,

I need to use the window solar incidents calculated by another program
for the windows I modeled in TRNSYS. So, I was wondering whether it is
possible to enter the hourly window solar incidents of the whole year
using the Data Readers (Type 9) of TRNSYS. I believe the TRNSYS Data
Readers are limited to 98 input variables. This means that I would
need to have a minimum of 90 data readers to enter the 8760 solar
incident value of each window. Then I would need to connect them such
that they would be read in the correct order. Would you please let me
know how I can do this?... or is there any other easier way to use the
solar incidents calculated by another program in TRNSYS?

Thank you very much in advance for your help,

I look forward to hearing from you,

Best Regards,

Simge Andolsun
