Environmental data for sites in the National Solar Data Network
The National Solar Data Program established solar energy systems in residential and commercial buildings across the United States. These solar sites are linked to a computer in the National Solar Data Network (NSDN). Data from this network is collected and analyzed to determine the thermal performance of each of the solar systems. The network consists of: (1) sensors which measure key performance parameters at a selected site; (2) a Site Data Acquisition Subsystem (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. 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. Environmental information collected at the sites for the reporting month are presented. The data include: insolation, temperature, wind, and humidity. (MHR)
