We, the authors, wish to make the following correction to our published paper [1].
Table 3 presents the exchanged columns; therefore, the values are not placed in the columns that they should correspond to. The authors want Table 3 to be modified to provide readers with a correct interpretation of the results.
In summary, on page 15, Table 3 should be changed from
Table 3.
Analysis in clear sky conditions for Scenario 2.
Table 3.
Analysis in clear sky conditions for Scenario 2.
