Environmental data for sites in the National Solar Data Network
A major goal of the National Solar Heating and Cooling Demonstration Program is to collect and analyze data which will be used to determine the thermal performance of selected solar energy systems. To meet the goals and objectives of the Demonstration Program, the National Solar Data Network (NSDN) has been developed for the Department of Energy by the Federal Systems Division of the International Business Machines Corporation. The network consists of sensors which measure key performance parameters at a selected site, a Site Data Acquisition System (SDAS), telephone transmission circuits and a Central Data Processing System (CDPS) which collects data and performs the computations required for system performance analysis. The output of the National Solar Data Network is a monthly performance report which defines the energy contribution of the solar energy system and resultant fossil fuel savings. The performance data for homes throughout the US is included.
