[TRNSYS-users] Parametric run with solar collector's orientation

[Michał Klimas]

Dear All,

I would like to model solar collector (type 538) parametric simulation using parameters:
a) slope
b) area
c) orientation

For the first two parameters it's quite easy. The question is: How and where can I set the "orientation" parameter ?
Do I need do prepare IAM file for each orientation (according to http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/mailinglist/archive2003/msg00021.html), add in type 15 xtimes surfaces and connect it to x collectors ?

I would be grateful for your help and any advice.


Kind regards,
