I am currently working on performance evaluation of a solar thermal device. For this i have collected experimental data on the device that includes Solar radiation (direct and diffused), wind speed and 7 different temperatures. Each experiment last for 9 hours and the total number of experiments is 20. Experimental data is observed every 15 minutes. This makes huge amount of data to be presented. What is the best way to possibly represent this kind of data effectively.
Mr.Jamil, can you be more specific!? if the problem is with making characteristic curves using that huge data! then u have a solution by using Matlab. store all the data in an excel sheet, you can import it onto Matlab and use the required data for obtaining different curves.
Dear Mr. Basharat Jamil;
You did't specify the purpose of your data, why you should represent them?and for what?
However, in general, as you need to present the performances of your system at hourly intervals for equinoxes and solstice dates (21th of March, June, September, and December), or hourly variations through the year, it will be recommended to represent your data at hourly intervals too, and for those days too.
I hope this can help
Best Regards

dear Basharat, i dont think so you have enough data which can be sorted out. you can sort out . i have done 15 mint data for one year with more than 20 parameters. the best option is to do 24 hour(daily) or weekly average. in solar daily or monthly data is normally used.
if you want i can help you.
Dear Basharat,
u can use excel 3D dimension.
or anther software.
