Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Storage tank

There may be an easier way to do this, but if you are running only one or two locations, it may be easy enough to do this process:

1) View .epw in excel, split by comma (don't re-save .epw!)

2) Use IF(SolarRadiationCell > 250, 1, 0) style to create a column of 1's and 0's for every hour of the year

3) Move these to a text file

4) Add Schedule:File object to your IDF to reference this external file

If you are doing many locations this would be a bit tougher, and there may be an easier way, but for a single location it seems pretty straightforward.

I want to make run my solar pump only when solar radiation is greater than 250 W/m² for example...
So, acoording to you, is it possible to create a schedule (which is calling my weather data) to do this?
Hoping my question was understandable.
