On this disk are:

1.	SOLERGYA.FOR - Fortran Source CODE
2.      SOLERGYA.EXE - Executable
3.	SOLNML.DAT   - Sample input file for SOLERGY
4.	SOLOUT.DAT   - Output file given sample file input
5.	solwea77.zip - zipped weather file

The weather file has been zipped to allow it to be stored
on a single disk. This weather file was collected at Daggett
California during 1977 and represents an average weather year for that
site.

Please try to reproduce the SOLOUT.DAT file listed above.  Report any
discrepancies to Greg Kolb or Cliff Ho at Sandia.  gjkolb@sandia.gov
                                                   ckho@sandia.gov	

The file EGEN.DAT will also be created when you run SOLERGY.
The file consists of 4 columns
1.	Gross turbine output
2.	Plant wide parasitic electric power
3.	Flag indicating whether a scheduled outage day
4.	Flag indicating whether a forced outage day


This file can be used to plot turbine power profiles for each day.

SOLERGY uses a weather file based on 15 minute average data.  You need to
convert your available weather information to 15 minute averages.  See the 
format for weather data described on pg 53 of SOLERGY manual.  If you do
not have data for some of the entries like barometric pressure, etc.
the code will run with zeros for these entries.  The data you must have
is direct normal insolation.

The best reference that describes how to estimate SOLERGY input parameters
is the Second Generation Central Receiver Technologies - a Status Report.
1993, Verlag C. F. Muller, GmbH, Karlsruhe. ISBN 3-7880-7482-5. 
This report also describes the new parasitic model which is not described
in the user's manual.  The report is out of print but Sandia can send you
a copy if you have difficulty obtaining it.  


Good luck!!
