Component | Description |
Test methodology | Solargis or BSRN methodology can be selected. Methodology is used in multi component tests. BSRN supports only GHI, DNI, DIF. Minimum limits are set quite low. Solargis methodology is derived from BSRN and is more precise. |
List of tests | The user can select the automatic tests to be performed. |
Acceptable minima | For particular irradiance component the user can override Analyst default values of minimum physical value. |
Consecutive static values limits | User can override the default value of how many consecutive static values of the irradiance component will be considered as artificial (and flagged out from valid values). The limit can be set up separately for DIF values. There is a special treatment for DNI component as consecutive zero values can be valid (i.e., the test is performed for DNI values other than zero). |
Periods to be excluded | If checked, periods from the list will be excluded from GHI-DNI-DIF consistency test. |
list of excluded periods | Sometimes you want to exclude one or more time periods from checking the consistency of irradiance components because you know of the malfunction of one of the sensors (i.e., corrupted rotating shadow band). In that case, you do not want to exclude other irradiance components as they may be correct. |
Add period | Opens input dialog to add a time period to the list of excluded periods. |
Remove period | Remove selected time period from the list. |
Remove all periods | Clear the list of periods. |
Select flag values | The user can select the flag values that should be updated |
