Simulation variables: geometry
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 Northern 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 |
