<p>These datasets are the measured outdoor test results of vacuum-membrane solar dish facets with different control systems.<br> The dataset (Uncontrolled_outside_day_R0.csv) is the results of an uncontrolled facet.<br> The dataset (Controlled_outside_night-Day_R1.csv) is from a facet with a constant differential pressure control system.</p> <p>The dataset (4day full data- constant diff pressure.csv) is from the same facet but the results were recorded over 4 days.<br> The dataset (Controlled_outside_constant hall effect day only R1.csv) is from a control system that sensed and maintained the membrane depth of the vacuum-membrane facet with a Hall effect sensor.</p> <p>Lastly, the dataset (controlled diff P with temp equation-R1.csv) is from a control system that maintained a constant differential pressure and incorporated the membrane material temperature.</p> <p><br></p>
