pvcompare.pv_feedin.nominal_values_pv¶
- pvcompare.pv_feedin.nominal_values_pv(technology, area, surface_azimuth, surface_tilt, psi_type)[source]¶
calculates the maximum installed capacity for each pv module.
The nominal value for each PV technology is constructed by the size of the module, its peak power and the total available area. It is given in the unit of kWp. The nominal value functions as a limit for the potential maximum installed capacity of PV in the energy system optimization.
Further information for the cell parameter efficiency for “Chen” and “Korte” see psi_type.
- Parameters
technology (str) – Possible values are: si, cpv or psi.
area (float) – total available surface area.
surface_azimuth (float) – Surface azimuth of the modules.
surface_tilt (float) – Surface tilt of the modules.
psi_type (str) – Defines the type of module of which the time series is calculated. Options: “Korte”, “Chen”.
- Returns
nominal_value – The rounded possible installed capacity for an area.
