SWH Simulations

Hello,

I am working on a SDK model on python where I update the weather file with data from 624 locations in the state of California. I am trying to retrieve the hourly T_deliv for each node but I am not exactly sure how. The code simulates the swh model for 624 nodes (624 stations where DNI, Tamb, etc. are obtained from) but I am not able to get the T_del for each node. Can someone suggest any ideas please. Thank you. 

Hi Julio,

Are you able to read the value of "t_deliv' for a single simulation? Note that the variable name is all lower case.

That variable should be an array of 8760 values.

Best regards,

Yes, I am only able to get the hourly T_deliv for the last node for some reason. I retrieve the T_deliv via [ T_deliv = ssc.data.get_array(data, 'T_deliv") ] but only for the last node. I need to loop this for each node and retrieve it with would be a matrix of (624 x 8760) but I am not exactly sure how. I hope this is clear enough and thanks in advance. 

Hi Julio,

That sounds like it might be caused by your method for building the matrix. It might be an array of nodes, each containing an array of hourly values:

[  [ h0, h2, h3, ..., h8759]  ,  [ h0, h2, h3, ..., h8759] ,  ...  ,  [ h0, h2, h3, ..., h8759]  ]

Thanks,
Paul.

Hi Paul,

Exactly!! Do you have any suggestions how I can extract the matrix? Every time each node is ran simulation I should be getting T_deliv (array of 9760) but I am not sure how to loop it within the 'swh' execution. Thanks.

Hi Julio,

If I understand your question correctly, your algorithm should look something like the following. I've written this in pseudocode so you will need to write your own code based on it.
