Re: [TRNSYS-users] Help (solar radiations detecting controller)

Asad,

 You can write an equation that compares the value of the total solar radiation incident on the plane of the collector with your on/off value. For example:

collOn = GT(Isolar,0)

the variable collOn will have a value of 1 if the value of Isolar is greater than zero.

kind regards,

 David

Hi Everyone, I am working on simulations of parabolic trough power plant and facing problem in finding a controller which will "ON" the power plant model only when there is solar radiations falling on solar collectors and "OFF" when there is no solar radiations falling on collectors!
