    Hello Giancarlo, Do you have a valid license ? because this is one of the limitation of the DEMO mode. If you do have a license; please send us your logs at support@pvsyst.com: Regards; Laurent

  9. Tonderai started following Generating an output file for later years using the aging tool.
  10. Tonderai
    Hi, I have modelled a solar farm installed 5years back and factored in the yearly degradation rates in the detailed losses>>aging section and enabled output file generation as attached below. For some reason, when I run the advanced simulation, it returns only Y1 E-grid values. How do I generate an output file with the hourly E-grid values for the current year, and later years? Thanks, Tonderai.

    That would be great.

    Hello, You should define the number of lines to be skipped, before the line where the (sub)hourly data starts. The general procedure for importing a custom weather data file is described in the following link: https://www.pvsyst.com/help/meteo-database/import-meteo-data/custom-meteo-files/conversion-protocol.html Note that you in this tool are supposed to import a a .csv file with (sub)hourly data, thus one line per time step with irradiance and temperature data and convert the .csv file to a .MET file that you can use in PVsyst to run your simulation. It seems like your source file is already a .MET file with Meteonorm 8.2 (hourly) data. You cannot re-convert an hourly .MET file to include the clipping correction.

    Hi, The shading calculation is indeed explained in the second link you have attached. In general, the higher the tilt, the higher the albedo contribution. Most of the albedo contribution will directly be lost (you see that the albedo loss is indeed following the albedo contribution) since we assume that only the first row is "seeing" the albedo, so that the albedo shading factor will be (n-1)/n (n = number of sheds). The albedo loss is a significant contribution to the global shading losses.

  23. Haziq
    Hi, I am in process of applying the sub-hourly clipping and been following the instruction from INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF PAPERS, but i seem stuck at "the first effective line is not a data line, please check the number of header lines" Which data line should i refer? Do anyone have a video tutorial of enabling the sub-hourly clipping

  26. dtarin started following Why are diffuse integrals calculated for every run?
  27. dtarin
    It would be helpful to include this in the next update. We've had to use custom tracker approximations to avoid long waits for diffuse recalculations when making other unrelated model updates.

    Hi, how is the albedo shading component (ShdALss) calculated? I have read the help pages on this topic but i am still not clear how this functionally works, sorry. https://www.pvsyst.com/help/project-design/shadings/calculation-and-model/index.html https://www.pvsyst.com/help/project-design/shadings/calculation-and-model/treatment-of-the-albedo-component.html#far-shadings Why does the albedo shading loss have this profile on a clear-sky day (single-axis tracking system): ? TIA

    Why is the diffuse shading information computed for every run, unlike the direct shading? Can't this information at least be held in the active memory as long as you're working on the same variant? I'm tweaking my loss terms and every time I rerun, PVsyst takes the time to build the diffuse integrals again. I can understand if you don't want to save it in the export, but while you're working would be nice. Thanks.

    The low light performance and temperature coefficient is defined in the individual .PAN files. The thermal parameters are then set for the full system to evaluate the temperature and the thermal losses in each sub-array. Thus if you are mixing panels in the same inverter (though in different sub-arrays), the different temperature coefficient of the different modules are well taken into account. In the loss diagram you will see the results for the full system. You find more information on the subject in the following PVsyst help pages: https://www.pvsyst.com/help/physical-models-used/pv-module-standard-one-diode-model/index.html?h=pv+module+standard+one+diode+model https://www.pvsyst.com/help/project-design/array-and-system-losses/array-thermal-losses/index.html

    Hello, As you indicate, in PVsyst you will first find the irradiance loss (linear shadings) and then the additional electrical shadings. Note that, in the loss diagram, each loss is defined as percentage of the previous energy quantity. Therefore the percent values are not additive.

    Hi all, Thank you so much for the prompt and helpful responses! After reading the PVsyst documentation and your feedback, I understand and am happy with the output.

    Hello, With lower PV production due to ageing modules, it seems reasonable to see less overload losses.
  37. dtarin started following Multi-Year Analysis of Inverter Clipping Losses & Module Degradation
  38. dtarin
    It is expected for plant/inverter clipping to decrease as system capacity degrades.

    Hi Linda, Thank you. After ensuring that the "Simulation for Year" is from 1 to 25, I get results as per the below attachment. This now shows reduction in production, but somehow inverter losses (columns starting with "IL_") also decrease with each year, which is not what we had expected. Could I have missed something? Many thanks!
  40. Linda Thoren
    You define the year in the batch parameter csv file. As in the video tutorial un minute 7. Now indeed it seems like you are not varying any of the parameters and simulate the same project 25 times.
  41. ASZulu
    Hi Linda, Yes. Even when I change the Year No. to "25" in the "Aging" section within the "Detailed Losses", it seems to produce results related to that specific year as many times as there are rows. How do I ensure that each row is for each year, and not one year repeated across multiple rows (as attached)? Your assistance is really appreciated.
  42. Linda Thoren
    Hi, It seams like you have set all the simulations for year 1. In the 15th column "Simulation Year"
  43. ASZulu
    Hi, Linda. When following the steps in the second video, I cannot seem to find the approach to simulating data for 25 separate, consecutive years. My resulting batch CSV shows the exact same outputs for all inputs, as per the attachment below: Please may you advise on where I went wrong or how I can edit inputs to show independent losses and resulting parameters to show the inverter behaviour over a 25-year period. Thanks again.
  44. ASZulu
    Thank you for this feedback, Linda.
  45. Linda Thoren
    Hi, You find information of how to define the ageing in the following tutorial: The Batch mode is described in the following tutorial:
  46. Linda Thoren
    Hello, When using the independent MPPT inputs feature, it is very important to have a multiple between the number of strings and MPPTs in each sub-array, or PVsyst can not equally distribute the strings over the MPPTs and you risk incorrect evaluation of the inverter losses over nominal inverter power. The MPPT and Power sharing feature is fully described in the following youtube tutorial:
