Abstract: The present paper presents an analysis of the performance of the direct gain systems using the weather data of Alexandria, Egypt (latitude 31.2°). The weather data file of Alexandria contains monthly average values of daily radiation on a horizontal surface, clearness index, ambient temperature, wind speed and relative humidity. Since TRNSYS needs hourly values of the previous parameters, the weather data generator developed at the Solar Energy Laboratory at Madison-Wisconsin is used to generate hourly data from the monthly average data available for Alexandria. TRNSYS is a transient simulation program developed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
