Hi everyone. The file attached is my favored file about the project that I am going to do. I have already checked the proper format and characteristics of the file which are appropriate for the SAM. After I import my file and run the simulation, I receive this error:

"exec fail(windpower): failed to read local weather file: error reading header (line 1).  At least 8 columns required, 1 found., /Users/parsaghamami/Desktop/University/Energy Economics/Final_Project/Sistan_Baluchestan_winddata.srwSimulation windpower failed :exec fail(windpower): failed to read local weather file: error reading header (line 1).  At least 8 columns required, 1 found., /Users/parsaghamami/Desktop/University/Energy Economics/Final_Project/Sistan_Baluchestan_winddata.srwgen not assignedSimulation grid failed :gen not assignedSSC requires input ‘gen’, but was not found in the SAM UI or from previous simulationsSimulation utilityrate5 failed :precheck input: variable ‘gen’ (System power generated) required but not assignedSSC requires input ‘gen’, but was not found in the SAM UI or from previous simulationsSimulation singleowner failed :precheck input: variable ‘gen’ (Net power to or from the grid) required but not assigned". 

What is the problem with my work?

Hi Ghamami,

The file you attached is not in a format that SAM can read.

Please use the information in the "SAM CSV Format for Wind" topic in Help to edit the file:

samrepo.nrelcloud.org/help/weather_format_csv_wind.html

Let me know if you continue to have trouble.

Best regards,
Paul.
