For models like photovoltaic models, the global radiation on the tilted surface is needed.
So far, IBPSA library only contains the following model: IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DirectTiltedSurface
This model calculates only the direct radiation on the tilted surface.
We want to add a model that calculates the global radiation on the tilted surface based on the global horizontal radiation (HGloHor) which is also a typical output of the TMY3 reader and a common measurement in general.

The model will base on works from:

I took a short discussion with @mwetter on rather using the existing models IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffuseIsotropic and IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffusePerez in combination with IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DirectTiltedSurface as motivation to run some short comparisons for San Francisco:
The AixLib approach is the one described above.

  1. tilt = 10 °, azimuth = 0 ° for a winter week

  2. tilt = 90 °, azimuth = -90 ° for a winter week
    image (1)

As the AixLib approach seems to result in a non-physical behavior for some parameter settings, especially for locations in the Western hemisphere, and to reduce the amount of model assumptions, I will proceed as follows:

Implement a model IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.GlobalTiltedSurface that bases on the IBPSA.BoundaryConditions.SolarIrradiation.DiffusePerez in contrast to the suggestions above.
