[esp-r] Re: climate module and climate files

[Arianna Sdei]

Hi Giorgios, 

thank you very much for that. Would you be able to be a bit more specific about how to create .csv files and import them into ESP-r? There isn't a section in the cookbook and the exemplar is not very helpful either. I have now a .csv file in my possession with hourly data for 

col 1: Diffuse solar on the horizontal (W/m**2)
# col 2: External dry bulb temperature   (Tenths DEG.C)
# col 3: Direct normal solar intensity   (W/m**2)
# col 4: Prevailing wind speed           (Tenths m/s) 
# col 5: Wind direction     (clockwise deg from north) 
# col 6: Relative humidity               (Percent)
year, latitude 

so I could ideally create a climate file and import it into esp-r. Please let me know if you are able to implement this procedure. Thank you,

Arianna

Hi Arianna,

You could prepare a csv file with the data you would like to use and then import the values in ESP-r from the "impose measured data" option in the "model context" menu (hint: remember to include the start-up days data and prepare your csv file not with hourly values but with time-step values).
You should include all 6 climate file columns in the csv file.
I do not remember if the cookbook has a section on this. There is an exemplar and a model in the tester folder (tester/test_suite/cellular_offices/cfg) but they are slightly different from your needs.

Good luck,
Georgios

Dear All,

does anybody knows if it is possible at all to modify climate files automatically using monthly averages? I know that it is possible to modify existing files manually each hour but that is very time consuming, is there an automated way of doing this in ESP-r? Can I just modify the degree days? I look forward to hearing from you,

best

Arianna Sdei
