pvcompare.pv_feedin.create_cpv_time_series

pvcompare.pv_feedin.create_cpv_time_series(lat, lon, weather, surface_azimuth, surface_tilt, normalization)[source]

Creates power time series of a hybrid CPV module.

The CPV time series is created for a given weather data frame weather for the INSOLIGHT CPV module. If normalization is True the time series is normalized.

Parameters
  • lat (float) – Latitude of the location for which the time series is calculated.

  • lon (float) – Longitude of the location for which the time series is calculated.

  • weather (pandas.DataFrame) – DataFrame with time series for temperature temp_air in C°, wind speed ‘wind_speed’ in m/s, ‘dni’, ‘dhi’, and ‘ghi’ in W/m².

  • surface_azimuth (float) – Surface azimuth of the modules (180° for south, 270° for west, etc.).

  • surface_tilt (float) – Surface tilt of the modules (horizontal=90° and vertical=0°).

  • normalization (bool) – If True: Time series is normalized. Otherwise absolute time series is returned.

Returns

Power output time series of CPV module in W.

Return type

pandas.Series
