1. The following table shows TMY data (W/m) for Denver (latitude 39.8) on July 1 (n=182, 8-=23.12). [Note: A typical meteorological year (TMY) is a set of meteorological data with data values for every hour in a year for a given geographical location. The data are selected from hourly data in a longer time period (normally 10 years or more)] Calculate the expected irradiation on the following collector surfaces. Must show formula/process with each answer obtained. Must work on this word file. Keep the question parts and provide your answer below. Notice answers are given for some of them to help check your work. It is suggested to use Excel worksheet to solve the problems. Use data in the table for following parameters: GHI DNI DHI TMY TMY THY TMY Time GHI DNI DHI a.
