Simulation variables: geometry

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The simulation calculates several variables concerning the solar geometry, which may be listed in the CSV file of hourly values.

These variables are obviously instantaneous, calculated in the middle of the measurement interval  (Hour + 30 min + Timeshift).  Accumulations in daily or monthly values doesn't make sense.

 

HSol                Height of the sun

AzSol Azimuth of the sun (with respect to South in Nordern hemisphere, and North in Southern hemisphere)
AngInc Incidence angle  (sun direction with respect to the normal to the plane)
AngProf Profile angle  (for sheds or trackers)
PlTilt Instantaneous Plane tilt, when varying with the sun (tracking)
PlAzimt Instantaneous Plane azimuth, when varying with the sun (tracking)
PhiAng Angle between the tracker and the "rest position"  
PhiInFr Tracking frames: phi or tilt angle within the frame
