Parameters
----------
weather : Dataframe
Weather data
'dni': Direct Normal Irradiance (W/m^2)
'dhi': Diffuse Horizontal Irradiance (W/m^2)
'ghi' Global Horizontal Irradiance (W/m^2)
'temp_air': air temperature (C)
'wind_speed': 10 m wind speed in (m/s)
info : dict
Dictionary containing location information with fields:
'Latitude': latitude in degrees
'Longitude': longitude in degrees.
'albedo' : (optional) albedo of ground. default 0.25
Other fields may be included in info as well.
module_parameters : dict
Dict or Series containing the fields diescribing the module
'Voco' :
'Bvoco' :
'cells_in_series'
'n_diode'
'Mbvoc'
'FD'
'iv_model'
'aoi_model' -
racking_parameters : dict
dictionary describing the racking setup. Contains fields:
'racking_type' : str. Can be 'fixed_tilt' for a stationary PV system
or 'single_axis' for a single axis tracker.
'surface_tilt' : float. If racking_type is 'fixed_tilt', specify the
surface tilt in degrees from horizontal.
'surface_azimuth' : float. If racking type is 'surface_azimuth', specify
the racking azimuth in degrees. A value of 180 degrees has the
module face oriented due South.
'axis_tilt' : float. If racking_type is 'single_axis', specify the the
tilt of the axis of rotation (i.e, the y-axis defined by
axis_azimuth) with respect to horizontal, in decimal degrees.
Standard value is 0.
'axis_azimuth' : float. If racking_type is 'single_axis', specify a
value denoting the compass direction along which the axis of
rotation lies. Measured in decimal degrees East of North.
Standard value is 0.
'backtrack' : bool. Controls whether the tracker has the
capability to ''backtrack'' to avoid row-to-row shading. False
denotes no backtrack capability. True denotes backtrack capability.
'gcr' : float. A value denoting the ground coverage ratio of a
tracker system which utilizes backtracking; i.e. the ratio
between the PV array surface area to total ground area. A tracker
system with modules 2 meters wide, centered on the tracking axis,
with 6 meters between the tracking axes has a gcr of 2/6=0.333.
If gcr is not provided, a gcr of 2/7 is default. gcr must be <=1
thermal_model: string or dict
If string, can be
‘open_rack_cell_glassback’ (default)
‘roof_mount_cell_glassback’
‘open_rack_cell_polymerback’
‘insulated_back_polymerback’
‘open_rack_polymer_thinfilm_steel’
‘22x_concentrator_tracker’
If dict, supply the following parameters:
a: float
SAPM module parameter for establishing the upper limit for module
temperature at low wind speeds and high solar irradiance.
b :float
SAPM module parameter for establishing the rate at which the
module temperature drops as wind speed increases (see SAPM eqn.
11).
deltaT :float
SAPM module parameter giving the temperature difference between
the cell and module back surface at the reference irradiance, E0.
Returns
