<div class=""><p class="">Jose,</p><p class="">Carefully check that the data reader and radiation processor are both configured correctly. Pay special attention to the following items:</p><p class="">Type 9: Have you selected the correct mode such that time of TRNSYS corresponds to the time of the measured data? Have you set the correct tracking mode?

<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I will cut to the chase (that’s why I’m here) [should I make some kind of introduction of myself?], I’m having some issues with the angle of incidence calculated by the type16g.
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I’m using a CSV file with some kind of TMY data for Uruguay developed here, where I have among other data, the hourly global incident radiation on horizontal and the hourly DNI. I’m using type9e to read the file and to pass it to the radiation processor. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Testing with a flat surface, the issue is that the angle of incidence drops to zero just as the radiation does, instead of increasing to 90º as it should…(i’m attaching at the end a graph capture).</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">If I disconnect the GHI from the reader on to the processor, and instead type as input for the processor a GHI of 1000 W/m2 the angle of incidence is OK (the radiation as expected isn’t). The DNI doesn’t seem to have an effect on the angle of incidence, only the GHI.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Has anyone encountered this issue before? </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">How can I deal with it?</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Thanks for any response.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Best,</div>
