[TRNSYS-users] From global solar radiation to direct and diffuse SR

Wirich,

  Did you also by chance measure global on the horizontal? If so then 
what I would suggest you do is to define your same vertical surfaces in 
Type16 and then run your measured global horizontal through it. Type16 
will give you an estimate of how the global breaks up into beam and 
diffuse not only for the horizontal but also for the vertical surfaces. 
I would then compute the ratios of beam to global and diffuse to global 
that Type16 gives you for each surface and then use those ratios 
multiplied by your actual measurements to come up with the components 
that Type56 wants.

kind regards,

  david
