ATH ITALIA software

METEONORM is a database of meteorological information, which provides up-to-date data and calculation procedures for every location in the world, indispensable for the design of solar power plants.‎ FEATURES AND PERFORMANCES The climate data of more than 7.‎700 weather stations are always up-to-date and, through the use of satellites, information is obtained from locations with a low density of weather stations.‎ The programme is available in 5 languages, including Italian: SECOS also provides the manual in Italian.‎ MEASURED PARAMETERS global radiation temperature humidity precipitation wind speed and direction duration of solar irradiation - Calculation of sunrise and sunset for each day - One-minute time interval for radiation parameters (new) - Calculation of radiation for inclined surfaces - Increased generation of humidity and temperature for calculation in simulations Locations can be selected using a graphical interface.‎ Maps can be zoomed and filtered.‎ DATIMETER IMPORTATIONONORM offers a dynamic Internet connection for current updates to monthly temperature and irradiance data.‎ With a simple click of the mouse, current data is imported from the internet and displayed.‎ It can be included in solar energy calculations and used in performance checks of energy systems.‎ The user can also import his own (hourly or monthly) temperature and irradiance data via the data import function.‎ Subsequently, METEONORM 's models and procedures can be used to generate random time series.‎ CALCULATION OF HOURLY VALUES From the software's monthly values (provided by the weather station, interpolated or imported data), METEONORM is able to calculate hourly values of all parameters using a stochastic (probabilistic) model.‎ The resulting time series corresponds to the "typical years" used for the system design.‎ In addition, the following parameters can be derived: solar elevation and azimuth global, diffuse and beam radiation (for horizontal and inclined planes) long wave radiation brightness UVA and UVB radiation spectrum precipitation humidity parameters (condensation point, relative humidity, mixing ratio, psychrometric temperature) EFFECTS OF HORIZONTAL HIGHLIGHTEMETEONORM calculates the reduced global radiation due to a high horizon .‎ The horizon line can easily be loaded both graphically and numerically.‎ A rectified image of the horizon can be imported and used as a background to assign numerical values to the horizon.‎ For the world's major mountain regions, the horizon is automatically calculated on the basis of a digital terrain model (accessible via the internet).‎ After loading the horizon, the sunrise and sunset for each day of the year are calculated.‎ Multiple sunrises or sunsets due to complex horizons (e.‎g.‎ with trees, towers, etc.‎) can also be easily calculated.‎ DATA EXPORT28 different data export formats compatible with most solar energy simulation and design software are available, including formats for TSOL/PVSOL.‎ Both hourly and monthly value calculations are available.‎ Export formats Humidity (including mx diagram) Science (includes most important parameters such as temperature, dew point temperature, global, diffuse and beam radiation, wind speed and direction, longwave radiation, precipitation, solar irradiance duration, cloudiness, clear sky radiation and extra-terrestrial radiation) Standard optimisation including automated search for the best tilt and azimuth Climate change (with simulation periods 2016-45 and 2071-2100)
