PV System withou injection energy to grid
Michele Oliosi replied to Michalis Angeli's topic in Simulations
If your system does not exchange energy with the grid, it means that the grid will only be there as a backup to cover for excess load, is that right? What about times when the batteries are fully charged? -
Can you send us the CSV to support@pvsyst.com ? We will try to find the issue.
-
In the source CSV, can you try putting "Date" and "Load" on the same line ?

Bifacial modeling with shading scene
Michele Oliosi replied to Pranav Maheshwari's topic in Problems / Bugs
Yes, can follow the method. I would suggest combining your idea with my previous comment, i.e., using the 3D scene variant, but choosing only a single orientation. This would be the second simulation. It is likely a bit more precise than the simulation with unlimited sheds. -
PV System withou injection energy to grid
Michele Oliosi replied to Michalis Angeli's topic in Simulations
You should design a “Stand-alone system” in this case. -
Usually the default value is what is pre entered in PVsyst when you open the window. In this case, it would be 0.4%/year. You can also check the help for more details.
-
I think these were just example values. Unless you have information from a research group / lab / measurements, I would recommend to just leave the default values.

This is coincidental, the two are not related.
-
No, as stated in orange, this is not necessary unless you are doing a very specific aging study and need a degraded module.
-
Please read https://www.pvsyst.com/help/ageing_general.htm The black values (%) are calculated from the red values (%/year). Since we calculate in the middle of the year (1/2 year mark), 0.5%/year means 0.25% for the simulation. To this, the mismatch degradation values are added, which are calculated from a series of random samples. By the way, your mismatch loss seems wrong. Please uncheck “keeps calculated mismatch values” and click on “add statistics” a couple of times. You can then resave the model.

Bifacial modeling with shading scene
Michele Oliosi replied to Pranav Maheshwari's topic in Problems / Bugs
Hi Actually, this is a misconception shared among many users. You can simulate with the bifacial model and a 3D shading scene ! However, there are conditions on the shading scene for this to work https://www.pvsyst.com/help/bifacial-conditions.htm The main issue in your case is that you don't have multiple rows of tables, but just a single row. Besides, the tables are not the same width. This will prevent from using the bifacial model jointly with the 3D scene. I would suggest the following: Make a variant without the small table. Replace the other 11 modules by a single 6 by 2 table. Duplicate the whole scene and place the copy far away to the northwest. This will mimic a second row and trick PVsyst to let you use the bifacial model. But because the second table is so far away, they won't affect each other. You should use the shading mode “according to module strings”. Because the number of modules is not the original one, using the detailed electrical calculation is not possible. -
Natural or forced air circulation. If the modules and roof are flush: fully insulated If there are a couple centimeters between modules and the roof : semi-integrated

Electrical loss according to string - Tracking systems
Michele Oliosi replied to gpuy's topic in Shadings and tracking
In the end, the results were consistent with the backtracking (on flat ground, therefore ShdElec = 0). So no issue after all. Did anyone experience the same issue ? Or were you following by interest ?- 8 replies

Basically, if there is no air circulation at the back of modules.
-
If the modules have some air duct at the back, it should count as semi-integration.
-
As far as I know, without further documentation, I would suggest using the default values. However, if you have detailed information about your module (from a lab for example), you can use that.

orientation Error on Simulating Multi Orientation Module
Michele Oliosi replied to Asyraf's topic in Simulations
Hi, First, I understand you want to distribute a string on two orientations ? This string 2 is not possible to implement in PVsyst. Indeed, PVsyst does not support strings that have modules in two orientations. I think the easiest is to consider the average orientation North+West. Since there are only two modules that are towards the West, this approximation shouldn't be too bad. I have made a similar example. Note how there are two orientations only. I started by eliminating the orientation with few modules, clicking on delete. Then select the orientation you want to group the few modules in, go to "Details", and then "Add fields" and add the modules. In this way you will end up with two orientations. Now string 2 can be in a single orientation.- 1 reply

Electrical Effect in Simulation - Unlimited Shades
Michele Oliosi replied to Michalis Angeli's topic in Simulations
Hi, yeah, it is recommended to use the electrical effect functionality. Indeed, it is only with it that you can fully take into account the effects of shadings and mismatch caused by shadings. The width of the PV cell should be the width in the height of the table. For example, for an 9 cm by 18 cm cell, in a half-cut module in portrait, the relevant height is 9 cm. The number of modules is an old name for this parameter. Now it is best read as “number of partitions in the height of the table”. https://www.pvsyst.com/help/shadings_partitioninstrings.htm -
