11.2 Simulation
Starts simulation of the current project with the given parameters. The system is simulated
at hourly intervals over a year.
The basis for the calculations can be found in the programme user manual.
The simulation only takes a few seconds, although the exact time depends on the
computer being used, the number of arrays in a system and the type of temperature model
selected.
After simulation you can select whether you want to run the Economic Efficiency
Calculation, or view the Annual Energy Balance, the Summary Project Report, or the Graph
of Results.
You are also able to go back to the programme’s main screen and continue work on your
project using the menu bar or speed buttons.
All results are now activated in the Results menu and can be viewed. As long as the project
parameters remain unchanged you are not able to carry out the Calculations > Simulation
command.
