simulation with data from TMY-generator + electricity needed to warm up the house about alpg

[GENETX]

Hi LiesDebr,

To answer your questions:

1. No it does not include space heating. The resulting output files are used to generate heating demand using our DEMKit simulator. We cannot use static data here as control might change the heating demand significantly. If you like, you can mail me to also get a license for DEMKit ( https://www.utwente.nl/en/eemcs/energy/demkit/ ), with which you'll be able to generate heat demand profiles.
2. The calculation seems to be fine. If I download the TMY data (picked a location closeby Twenthe weather station) and multiply by 0.36, I get a maximum of 330 J/cm2, which seems to be about right. Perhaps importing the data is causing problems due to comma-dot interchange between Dutch mode and English mode? Anyway, you could have a look here, the PC code starts at line 308: https://github.com/GENETX/alpg/blob/master/devices.py

Best,
Gerwin
