pvstring¶
This module contains the PVstring
class.
PVstring¶
-
class
pvmismatch.pvmismatch_lib.pvstring.PVstring(numberMods=10, pvmods=None, pvconst=<PVconstants(npts=101)>)¶ A class for PV strings.
Parameters: -
calcString()¶ Calculate string I-V curves. Returns (Istring, Vstring, Pstring) : tuple of numpy.ndarray of float
-
plotStr()¶ Plot string I-V curves. Returns strPlot : matplotlib.pyplot figure
-
setSuns(Ee)¶ Set irradiance on cells in modules of string in system. If Ee is ... ... scalar, then sets the entire string to that irradiance. ... a dictionary, then each key refers to a module in the string, and the corresponding value are passed to
setSuns()Parameters: Ee (dict or float) – irradiance [suns] For Example:
Ee={0: {'cells': (1,2,3), 'Ee': (0.9, 0.3, 0.5)}} # set module 0 Ee=0.91 # set all modules to 0.91 suns Ee={12: 0.77} # set module with index 12 to 0.77 suns Ee={8: [0.23, (0, 1, 2)], 7: [(0.45, 0.35), (71, 72)]} # set module 8, cells 0, 1 and 2 to 0.23 suns, then set module 7, cell # 71 to 0.45 suns and module 72 to 0.35 suns.
-
setTemps(Tc)¶ Set temperature on cells in modules of string in system. If Tc is ... ... scalar, then sets the entire string to that temperature. ... a dictionary, then each key refers to a module in the string, and the corresponding value are passed to
setTemps()Parameters: Tc (dict or float) – temperature [K] For Example:
Tc={0: {'cells': (1,2,3), 'Tc': (323.15, 348.15, 373.15)}} # set module 0 Tc=323.15 # set all modules to 323.15K (50°C) Tc={12: 348.15} # set module with index 12 to 348.15K (75°C)
