Reader for TMY3 weather data

Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3

Information

This component reads TMY3 weather data (Wilcox and Marion, 2008) or user specified weather data. The weather data format is the Typical Meteorological Year (TMY3) as obtained from the EnergyPlus web site at http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm. These data, which are in the EnergyPlus format, need to be converted as described in the next paragraph.

Adding new weather data

To add new weather data, proceed as follows:

  1. Download the weather data file with the epw extension from http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/energyplus/cfm/weather_data.cfm.
  2. Add the file to Buildings/Resources/weatherdata (or to any directory for which you have write permission).
  3. On a console window, type
      cd Buildings/Resources/weatherdata
  java -jar ../bin/ConvertWeatherData.jar inputFile.epw
    This will generate the weather data file inputFile.mos, which can be read by the model Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3.

Location data that are read automatically from the weather data file

The following location data are automatically read from the weather file:

Wet bulb temperature

By default, the data bus contains the wet bulb temperature. This introduces a nonlinear equation. However, we have not observed an increase in computing time because of this equation. To disable the computation of the wet bulb temperature, set computeWetBulbTemperature=false.

Using constant or user-defined input signals for weather data

This model has the option of using a constant value, using the data from the weather file, or using data from an input connector for the following variables:

By default, all data are obtained from the weather data file, except for the atmospheric pressure, which is set to the parameter pAtm=101325 Pascals.

The parameter *Sou configures the source of the data. For the atmospheric pressure, temperatures, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction, the enumeration Buildings.BoundaryConditions.Types.DataSource is used as follows:

Parameter *Sou Data used to compute weather data.
File Use data from file.
Parameter Use value specified by the parameter.
Input Use value from the input connector.

Because global, diffuse and direct radiation are related to each other, the parameter HSou is treated differently. It is set to a value of the enumeration Buildings.BoundaryConditions.Types.RadiationDataSource, and allows the following configurations:

Parameter HSou Data used to compute weather data.
File Use data from file.
Input_HGloHor_HDifHor Use global horizontal and diffuse horizontal radiation from input connector.
Input_HDirNor_HDifHor Use direct normal and diffuse horizontal radiation from input connector.
Input_HDirNor_HGloHor Use direct normal and global horizontal radiation from input connector.

Notes

  1. In HVAC systems, when the fan is off, changes in atmospheric pressure can cause small air flow rates in the duct system due to change in pressure and hence in the mass of air that is stored in air volumes (such as in fluid junctions or in the room model). This may increase computing time. Therefore, the default value for the atmospheric pressure is set to a constant. Furthermore, if the initial pressure of air volumes are different from the atmospheric pressure, then fast pressure transients can happen in the first few seconds of the simulation. This can cause numerical problems for the solver. To avoid this problem, set the atmospheric pressure to the same value as the medium default pressure, which is typically set to the parameter Medium.p_default. For medium models for moist air and dry air, the default is Medium.p_default=101325 Pascals.

  2. Different units apply depending on whether data are obtained from a file, or from a parameter or an input connector:

  3. The ReaderTMY3 should only be used with TMY3 data. It contains a time shift for solar radiation data that is explained below. This time shift needs to be removed if the user may want to use the ReaderTMY3 for other weather data types.

Implementation

Start and end data for annual weather data files

The TMY3 weather data, as well as the EnergyPlus weather data, start at 1:00 AM on January 1, and provide hourly data until midnight on December 31. Thus, the first entry for temperatures, humidity, wind speed etc. are values at 1:00 AM and not at midnight. Furthermore, the TMY3 weather data files can have values at midnight of December 31 that may be significantly different from the values at 1:00 AM on January 1. Since annual simulations require weather data that start at 0:00 on January 1, data need to be provided for this hour. Due to the possibly large change in weatherdata between 1:00 AM on January 1 and midnight at December 31, the weather data files in the Buildings library do not use the data entry from midnight at December 31 as the value for t=0. Rather, the value from 1:00 AM on January 1 is duplicated and used for 0:00 on January 1. To maintain a data record with 8760 hours, the weather data record from midnight at December 31 is deleted. These changes in the weather data file are done in the Java program that converts EnergyPlus weather data file to Modelica weather data files, and which is described below.

Time shift for solar radiation data

To read weather data from the TMY3 weather data file, there are two data readers in this model. One data reader obtains all data except solar radiation, and the other data reader reads only the solar radiation data, shifted by 30 minutes. The reason for this time shift is as follows: The TMY3 weather data file contains for solar radiation the "...radiation received on a horizontal surface during the 60-minute period ending at the timestamp." Thus, as the figure below shows, a more accurate interpolation is obtained if time is shifted by 30 minutes prior to reading the weather data.
