Hi Tim,

the year that we simulate isn't a specific one. It is a general year, just the 8760 hours of one typical year at a given location. The climate data is taken from real years with a range of 10 to 20 or even 30 years and is compiled into a single typical meteorological year (TMY), that contains e.g. the January of 2006, the February of 2013, March 2014, and so on.

See more on that topic here:

So, this single TMY is "yearless", so to speak. It stands for a typical year in the time range that is denoted in the climate data.

Hope that clarifies the matter, kind regards,

Martin
