modelSolarInput
Solar radiation
Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Interfaces.SISO (Single Input Single Output continuous control block).
Information
The model also requires the total solar input available to the Biosphere 2 structure. Rather than using spherical trigonometry to compute the available radiation, also this information is simply pulled out of a huge table, where data have been stored for an entire year.
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
| Real | m | 11.247 | Multiplicative factor for conversion of radiation from Btu/(h.sqft) to kJ/(h.m2) |
| Real | a | 0 | Additive factor for conversion of radiation from Btu/(h.sqft) to kJ/(h.m2) |
