    <p>Toni,</p>
    <p> I am not aware of a component that will read ahead in a weather
      data file. You could of course modify Type15 to do so (or write
      your own component to do so). You might also be able to run a
      simulation in which you read the weather data and write back out
      the critical pieces of it that you want (ambient temperature and
      solar). Then modify that file so that it is shifted by 24 hours.
      From then on you can use a Type9 to read the shifted weather data
      in parallel with whatever component you're using to read the
      present weather data. There are components available that will
      give you a running average over the past N hours. Because the data
      is shifted, what it thinks of as the "past" N hours are in fact
      the "next" N hours. <br>
    </p>
    <p> If you do this, be careful not to run the shifted solar data
      through a radiation processor (such as Type16) but instead deal
      only with the raw (uninterpolated) data. The reason is that Type16
      uses the present simulation time to determine the sun's present
      position. If you run the modified solar through a radiation
      processor you'll be using tomorrow's data with today's sun
      position. <br>
    </p>
    <p> Also a slight caution in that you're going to get a perfectly
      accurate "forecast" of the next day's weather. Once or twice in my
      experience I have seen days when the forecasted weather did not
      turn out quite the way it was supposed to. You might want to add
      some stochastic element to your forecast so that it is not always
      100% accurate. There are some random number generator components
      in the TESS Utility library that can help in this regard (though
      not directly)</p>
    <p>kind regards,</p>
    <p> David</p>
