Custom weather data files

PVsyst offers a very general programmable interpreter for importing custom files (either weather data or measured data files).

  • The text file is assumed to hold one record (line) per time step.
  • Time steps should be hours or fractions of hours.
  • The Protocol defines Skipped lines, Separator, Variables to be read, Variables reading format.
  • It performs physical unit conversions to match the PVsyst internal standard format [MJ, MJ/m², °C, m/s].
  • Dates may be sequential (read or not on the file), or can have "holes".
  • Possibility of automatically chaining daily or monthly files with coded filenames.
