timgreen13 Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Dear Developers, why i see only 2014 year ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Dear Tim, yes, that is true. This is because we only simulate one year, and the calendar component that you showed in your screenshot needs a year to be set. 2014 is just an arbitrary value, a placeholder for any year, if you want. Sorry for the confusion, kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timgreen13 Posted October 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Dear Martin, i didn't understand where is the confusion? "This is because we only simulate one year" -why? , which year? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 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: https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/2019/calculation/irradiation/climate-data/#what-are-climate-data-sets-what-does-typical-mean-year-mean 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
