Abstract

This paper tests the hypothesis that ignoring the random component in the fluctuations in ambient temperature produces acceptably low errors (∼ 1%) when simulating domestic, commercial and industrial process heat systems. The hypothesis was confirmed under a very wide range of settings in system parameters, indeed under all of the 18 settings tested using the WATSUN hourly simulation program. This result improves the viability of using synthetic weather data in simulating solar systems.
