The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) recently completed the derivation of typical meteorological year (TMY) data sets from the 1961--1990 National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB). Based on more recent and accurate data, these data sets are recommended for use in place of earlier TMY data sets derived from the 1952--1975 SOLMET/ERSATZ data base. To distinguish between the two TMY data sets, the new TMY data sets are referred to as TMY2s. This paper summarizes the methods used to create the TMY2 data sets; lists the meteorological, solar radiation, and illuminance elements contained in the TMY2 data sets; and provides some comparisons between the TMY2 data sets and the 30-year-data sets from which they were derived.
