Creating GTI energy system

Creating a GTI energy system

Important: The GTI energy system is not working with the terrain data.

To create a new GTI energy system:

1. Open your project.

2. Go to Project/Energy system.

3. Click the “+Create” button and select GTI energy system in the Alternative energy system table.

4. Select the energy system mounting type.

5. Click “OK” to submit. A GTI energy system designer will open.

Note: The energy system will be generated with default values of azimuth, tilt, or rotation limits (for tracker tables)

The GTI energy system designer

The GTI energy system designer page shows a 3D interactive graphics illustration of the system relative to the sun’s path.

You can change the azimuth, tilt, or rotation to position the table differently and use the sun’s plot sliders to view the sun’s path projection on the table. Any change in the mounting settings will be immediately reflected in the system for better illustration.

Tip: To customize the available parameters, switch the Default to Manual and enter your custom values.

1. Adjustable sliders to change the sun’s position in real-time.

2. Map view selectors.

3. Summary of the sun’s position based on current time/date slider settings.

4. Change the mounting type.

5. Adjust the mounting parameters. You can also edit or download far horizon data here if required.

6. Save the changes.

Saving your GTI energy system and simulating energy yield data

After you have set all parameters, save your energy system using “Save" button, and close the designer. Your new energy system will be added to your project’s energy systems list on Energy System page.

Note: The energy system feasibility data has not yet been generated, and its status will indicate “Not calculated.” You must simulate it to generate its data.
