Analyze

General overview

Analyze dialog provides an extended view of data in sets of specific graphs that focus on multiyear comparison and single-column visualization.

  • Profiles. Yearly/monthly diurnal profiles graph

  • Multiyear Analysis. Comparison of years as time series, maximum GHI/DNI/GTI, maximum daily ktm

  • Kt Graphs. Set of graphs in Kt space. GHI, DNI and DIF columns need to be in the dataset in order to draw all graphs.

  • Monthly Averages. Monthly averages graph

  • Trends. Trend graphs with linear, polynomial or moving average trend line

Component

Description

Dataset

Selected dataset for visualizations

Column(s)

Selected column or set of columns for visualizations

Options

Various options for each tab

Aggregation

Output time step.

Min of valid points

Minimum required number of original records (in %) for summarizing the output interval. If this condition is not met (e.g., there are less than 30 1-minute records in hourly output interval, while we require 50% minimum), the output interval is empty - filled by NaN value.

Year/Month

Filter data by year, month or year and month

Date

Filter data by date and/or time

Data column

If only one dataset is present, it's possible to filter data by range from any column of that dataset. If multiple datasets are present, it's possible to filter only by solar elevation.

Period of day

Filter data by period of the day, similar to filter data by solar elevation

Flags

If checked, data are filtered by flag values from flag column

Valid

Check valid flags

Select All

Check all flags

Deselect All 

Deselect all flags

Flag values

Dataset flags from dataset flag scheme

Redraw

Redraw current graph with the latest changes. 

Options

Profiles

Component

Description

monthly / yearly

View in time zone

If checked, data are shown in UTC chosen

mean / median

Show average/median diurnal profile line

percentile

Show custom percentile line

fill between

Fills area between custom percentiles

Multiyear Analysis options

Component

Description

h0 limit

Filter time steps where sun position are greater than h0 limit

value limit

Filter time steps where column values are greater than h0 limit

Ktm limit

Filter time steps where clearness index values are greater than Ktm limit

Ktm std limit

Filter time steps where standard deviation of clearness index values are lower than Ktm std limit

Kt Graphs options

Component

Description

AOD lines

 

Sun elevation treshold

Filter time steps where column values are lower/greater than solar elevation limit

Trends options

Component

Description

Min of valid records for daily averages

Minimum required number of original records (in %) for summarizing the output interval. If this condition is not met (e.g., there are less than 30 1-minute records in hourly output interval, while we require 50% minimum), the output interval is empty - filled by NaN value. Used only when input is sub-hourly.

Linear trend

Draw linear trend line

Polynomial trend

Draw polynomial trend line of selected degree

Smooth data

Use only full period for calculating polynomial and moving average trend lines

Moving average

Draw moving average trend line with selected number of months
