Environmental data for sites in the National Solar Data Network
The network consists of (1) sensors which measure key performance parameters at a selected site; (2) a Site Data Acquisition System (SDAS); (3) telephone transmission circuits; and (4) a Central Data Processing System (CDPS). Sensor data are collected and stored on a cassette tape in the SDAS. The CDPS collects and processes the information at Vitro and performs the required computations. For the majority of parameters, raw data is collected approximately every five minutes. Solar insolation and certain other parameters, which are subject to rapid variance, are sampled every 32 seconds. The CDPS interrogates each SDAS on a daily basis and retrieves all accumulated data. At the conclusion of data retrieval, the SDAS Cassette is reset by command from the CDPS for continuing data collection. This report presents environmental information collected at the sites for the reporting month. Only those sites for which the data are found to be valid are reported.
