connectorSolarRad_in

Scalar total radiation connector (input) with additional direct, diffuse and from ground reflected radiation

Information

Overview

The SolarRad_in connector is used for total radiation input and its main components. Is explicitly defined as an input.

Concept

It contains information on:

  • total radiation
  • direct radiation (as part of the total radiation)
  • diffuse radiaton (as part of the total radiation)
  • radiation reflected from the ground (as part of the total radiation)
  • incidence angle on the surface


which can be needed by certain models, but is not neccesarry for all models. As this connector replaces the old connector, please make sure to write the appropriate equations for all the connector's components.
