[TRNSYS-users] TYPE15-2 Tracking by rotation about a user-defined axis (X-axis for example)

[Mohannad Bayoumi]

Hi,

I am simulating a PV system with TRNSYS. In TYPE 15-2 there is a parameter
for the tracking axis.

One can choose between the 4 following options:

*The type of surface for the radiation calculations: 1 = fixed surface (no
tracking), 2 = the surface rotates about a vertical axis in order to track
the sun, 3 = the surface rotates about a fixed (user-defined) axis, 4 = the
surface 2-axis tracks such that the beam radiation is always normal to the
surface.*

Regarding option 3, how to enter the user-defined axis (X-axis for example)?
In other words, the collector area shall optimize its orientation by
rotation around a horizontal axis.

Thanks in advance!
