modelDeclination
Test model for declination
Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
Information
This model validates the computation of the solar declination, which is the angle between the equatorial plane and the solar beam. The time table solDecNOAA outputs the solar declination according to the computation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), using their yearly calculator from http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. The values differ slightly because the equation in AixLib.BoundaryConditions.SolarGeometry.BaseClasses.Declination is an approximation.
