[EnergyPlus_Support] custom weather file with multiple years with the converter tool

["lukas.rokka@xxxxxxxxx [EnergyPlus_Support]" <EnergyPlus_Support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm working on a web tool that creates free weather files for energy and hygrothermal simulations from gridded mesoscale datasets for a any location for North Europe Shiny weather data

	Shiny weather data Data Modelled solar radiation data are retrieved from: SMHI STRÃ?NG Ohter parameters are retrieved from: SMHI MESAN
	View on rokka.shinyapps.io	Preview by Yahoo

The tool creates .def and .cst files from which the user can create .epw files with the Energyplus 8.4 weather converter tool. This works fine as long as the data is not longer than 8760 rows. But the weather converter tool crashes when the .cst file consist of more rows than 8760. Is there something I'm missing here or can't the tool create multi year files?

Another thing about the weather converter tool is that it seems to be a half an hour off when calculating the solar elevation used for solar radiation data. Seems like it calculates the sun's elevation at full hours (but this should be calculated e.g. at 12:30 for the 13:00 timestamp)
