TMY File Extension Description

The TMY in the file extension TMY stands for the Typical Meteorological Year. The TMY file extension holds a collection of selected data on weather for specified locations. This data inside the TMY file extension is generated from data banks that have been collated from duration of more than a year.

The data with the TMY file extension are specifically chosen to show the phenomenal weather ranges of a particular location in analysis. This information typically includes: hottest and coldest conditions, strongest rainfall and much more, as the annual averages are given. These data are consistent, with long-term averages of the area in question.

The files with TMY file extensions are also often used in simulation building, to be able to assess the heating and cooling cost expectations for building designs. The designers using the files with the TMY file extensions on solar energy systems, including large-scale solar power thermal plants, and domestic solar hot water systems, also utilize it. The programs that initially integrated the TMY file extension was based on 229 US locations, and collected data it contains are between the years of 1948 and 1980.

Commercial software known as TRNSYS supports the use of the TMY file extension in their used data. The TRNSYS is currently providing data in the TMY file extension, with no charge for its free demonstration version. However, the files with the TMY file extension are paid. The simulation program of the software uses the data in renewable energy engineering, as well as simulation building design for passive, as well as active solar. The TRNSYS library includes the commonly found components in thermal and electrical energy systems, component procedures on time-dependent forcing process, and output results of simulations, as well as the procedure on how to handle input of weather data.
