Both models used the same base weather data consisting of hourly values of ambient temperature, humidity, total, and beam radiation on a horizontal surface and wind speed。 Hence, the valida- tion also includes the calculation of radiation on tilted surfaces and the method used to determine sub-hourly values of these param- eters。 A 5 min time-step was used for both simulations and for all subsequent analysis。

hotter than the ambient due to the thermal mass contained within the structure and the effects of the internal heat  loads。

A small difference of <1 ◦C between the maximum daytime tem-

perature predictions is present on several days with the model here predicting slightly hotter temperatures than the TRNSYS Type 56 model。 The most likely sources for this discrepancy are the method of calculating radiative transfer and the window heat transfer cal- culation。 In the case of the latter, the simplified model employed here used single values of the SHGC and the overall U-value whereas the Type 56 model employs a detailed window heat transfer model with incident angle dependent transmittance and absorbance and temperature dependent heat transfer coefficient。 Hence, small dif- ferences in building conditions are expected。 Nevertheless, the results show that the current simplified model is suitable for assess- ing the relative impact of different building thermal parameters on the comfort conditions with PV-A/C  conditioning。

4。 Methodology & parameter selection

In this study, occupant comfort is the key performance metric since the operating cost to run the off-grid system is negligible。 Here the total annual degree of discomfort dd, measured in degree- hours above 25 ◦C, and the annual percentage improvement in the degree of discomfort pddimpr relative to the same  building with- out conditioning, were used as metrics。 When evaluating systems with different battery capacities and numbers of PV modules, it is clearly beneficial to minimise both of these parameters to minimise the capital investment, though here no economic calculations have been included。

In total 13 different building parameters have been considered as given in Table 1。 The meaning of the orientation and aspect parameters and the window location may be clarified with refer- ence to Fig。 5。 In order to assess the absolute as well as relative influence of each parameter on the occupant comfort, generally two values of each parameter (with the exception of the orientation and wall construction) were considered; one representing a typical ‘above average’ value and one a typical ‘below average’  value。 太阳能光伏空调散热设计英文文献和中文翻译(6):http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_84612.html
