Dear all,

we are a group of four students from ESB Business School in Germany currently conducting a research project which is based upon research from Wharton School.

We have modelled the electricity consumption of our university building with EnergyPlus and are currently trying to simulate the potential energy supply of Solar PV on the roof of our university with weather data from our county.

Big problem is that we configured the Solar PV panels (see screenshot) in the IDF editor but once we simulate (we receive 5 errors) we cannot see the supply in the results (Excel Spreadsheet) - thus we still only see the consumption. Any advice that helps us to set up the simulation for solar panels and the respective output format (site energy production per hour) is greatly appreciated.

This currently hinders our research process. We appreciate any support and would offer the same with similar projects.

Best regards, Jonas Schoell, Jan-Oliver Distler, Linus Keiler and Roger

Dear community,

I am currently trying to configure a schedule consisting of around 8,500 lines. Due to this size, I started to use the Excel to IDF Macro (see https://github.com/jmarrec/Useful-Exc...) to copy paste our schedule which I have created in Excel.

Our schedule functions via a 'fraction' logic and unfortunately, EnergyPlus does not accept our given fraction values that are included. This becomes already obvious when EnergyPlus does not transform our input 0,02 into .02 as usual.

In the error file it tells me that the schedule has 'missing days in its schedule pointers'. Due to this error the modelling cannot even be finished and no data is included in the output files.

When I start to type in my schedule individually, rather than copying it in via the Excel Macro, it all works perfectly fine. Due to the 8,500 lines I am not able to type the whole thing individually.

I have attached a picture of the error file and the IDF Input:

My analysis is going towards calculating the energy consumption of a building, hence quite a simple analysis.

Thank you very much for your help and best wishes,

Roger

No output generation for our hourly electricity consumption and solar production Dear community, We are one final step

Thanks for the info, without the Macro we would probably have used a CSV file. We also get that "problem" with Winter/Su

Hi Julien, you can ignore my previous post from an hour ago. I got it now :-). Our schedule didnt cover the whole year
