blockSolarTime

Solar time

Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.Block (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).

Information

This component computes the local solar time.

Note: To avoid events, this block does not convert solar time to a scale of 24 hours.

Revisions

  • Feb. 16, 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    Removed section that limits solar time to 0 ≤ solTim ≤ 86400 as this triggers events, and is not needed because solar time is used in trigonometric functions only.
  • May 13, 2010, by Wangda Zuo:
    First implementation.
