A software tool for the creation of a typical meteorological year

The generation of a typical meteorological year is of great importance for calculations concerning many applications in the field of thermal engineering. In this context, a method has been proposed by Hall et al. focusing on the generating of typical data, and improving the criterion for final selection of typical meteorological month (TMM). The final selection of the most representative year was done by examining a composite score S, which was calculated as the weighed sum of the scores for the four used meteorological parameters. These parameters were air dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and global solar radiation intensity.
