I am currently looking at a TMY3 dataset for Tucson, AZ (AZ-Tucson_International_Ap.tmy3) and see that the dates associated with the observations span almost 30 yrs, from 4/1976-12/2004. I understand the dataset was constructed around good solar observations by NREL but my real question is, what is the correct way to specify start and end times? If I want to run a two month simulation from January through February, the TMY3 data crosses years, from 01/01/2002 -> 02/01/1986, so what is the correct...

Thanks Roger.

I was wondering if there is an upper limit to the size of an openDss feeder model? Such as max number of lines, transformers, etc, or if there was some other metric that would determine how big of an electric grid distribution model I can build. Thanks for your time!

Anyone?

Roger, I have attached a short script the includes a yearly loadshape which I used to test out the Monte Carlo functionality. I ran three tests from this script by alternating the commented out "solve" lines and corresponding circuit object line at the top (I think the names will be obvious). Honestly, I am a bit perplexed by the output. I ran the yearly loadshape first just to get a comparison baseline. Then I ran the Monte Carlo modes M1, and M2. If I am understanding the manual, M1(SIngleTran_M1_Test.dss),...

Frank, I only did the typicall install and did not check the boxes for installing MinGW and GNUplot. Just double chaecked and got same error messages.
