Hi all,
Here I've also attached the slide for the topic:
FIELDWORK AND VALIDATION (Simulation vs Field Measurement)

This slide will provide you with some tips on conducting field measurement, especially in a built environment.
Also in the slide some information on how to validate your research data between Simulation & Field Measurement.

Feel free to ask me any questions regarding this topic. Please introduce your name and your research topic.

FIELD MEASUREMENT AND SIMULATIONVALIDATION OF INCIDENT IRRADIANCE ONVERTICAL FACADE IN TROPICAL COUNTRIES

The comprehension of sun-powered radiation and the sun's position is crucial for photovoltaic applications to ensure the photovoltaic module operates at an optimum level at any given site and

orientation. To facilitate the growth of photovoltaic utilization, forecasting solar irradiance using simulation tools has become an effective predictive measure to forecast photovoltaic power generation. However, the prediction accuracy in the simulation tool needs to be verified through the validation process. This experiment was performed in the field test and the calculated data from this measurement was used to verify the data from the simulation. Based on the recommended validation measures, this study examines the errors and precision of the forecast model in the simulation system. This field experiment covers eight different vertical façade configurations. The result indicates that the vertical façade to the east and west exposed the most incident radiation.
