<p>Adnan,</p>
<p>If the solar radiation data that you have is the instantaneous measurement, or the average rate over the 10-minute period, in W/m2 then the conversion is:</p>
<p>10 W/m2 =>10 J/s.m2 * 3600 s/hr * 1 kJ/1000 J = 36 kJ/h.m2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If the data you have is the integrated total then the conversion is different:</p>
<p>10 W.hr/m2 => 10 J.hr/s.m2 * 1 kJ/1000 J * 3600 s/hr = 36 kJ/m2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the radiation processor requires the rate so we must divide by the timestep of the integration period:</p>
<p>36 kJ/m2 / 10 minutes * 60 minutes/hr = 216 kJ/h.m2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bottom line: make sure you know the units of the measurement which you were given.</p>
<p> </p>

<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>i have a question about use of 10 min interval solar radiation data used for TYPE 9 (data reader) and TYPE 16 (radiation processor). <span style="color: #0000ff;">i have 10 min interval solar radiation data in W/m2</span>, i need to convert this data to KJ/m2/hr to used in TRNSYS. how should i do among followings... </div>
<div> </div>
<div>10 W/m2 .......... 10 *1000/ 3600 = 10 * 3.6 KJ/m2/hr. or i need to convert it as </div>
<div>10 W/m2.......... 10 * 1000/600 = 10 * 0.6 KJ/m2/10min </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance.. </div>
