TemperatureBasic1

 

Weather Related Models were added in Version 23

 

This model takes the temperature at the generator (in either Fahrenheit or Celsisus depending on the input parameter TempCF) and converts this into a normalized output scalar as shown in the figure below. This normalized value is then multiplied by the model parameter MWMax to create the output of the Wind Model which represents the weather-dependent MWMax value that should be used by the generator.

Inputs

Description

TempF

TempC

The TempF or TempCwill be obtained from the generator field WS_TempF field WS_TempCas described in the help topic Generator assignments to WeatherStation and XYCurve.

If this is not available we will assume an input that is in the middle of the normal range which results in an output scalar of 1.000.

 

Parameters for SolarPVBasic1 and SolarPVBasic2.

Parameter

Description

TempCF

Set to 1 to indicate temperatures are given in Fahrenheit degrees

Otherwise we assume Celsius degrees

MWMax

The scalars are all per unit on this base.

TempNormalLow

The lowest temperature at which the OutputScalar is 1.000

TempNormalHigh

The highest temperature at which the OutputScalar is 1.000

TempLow

As temperature goes below TempNormalLow, the OutputScalar linearly reduces down to a value of TempLowScalar at the temperature TempLow

TempLowScalar

See TempLow description

TempHigh

As temperature goes above TempNormalHigh, the OutputScalar linearly reduces down to a value of TempHighScalar at the temperature TempHigh

TempHighScalar
