  1. You are modeling "detailed according to module layout". You need to place these modules in the tables in the module layout menu. Select "according to module strings" and it will use the shade scene as it has been provided. The total area of the shade scene is relatively close to the pv system. 

  2. After writing that, perhaps the issue is that your prj file itself is missing the .SIT information, in which case manual creation might be the solution. 

  3. You can always create one from notepad just to get it loaded or extract the site information from the .prj file. Look for the following (and remove the text after the underscore). Some changes will need to be made; I think you just need to add the version below the "Comment=..." line. 

    If you're creating from scratch, I think the main things you need are coordinates, altitude, timezone. The meteo data that is contained in the site file is not used in simulation. 

     

    PVObject_SitePrj=pvSite
    ....
    ....
    End of PVObject pvSite

    Hello,

    Indeed the PVsyst simulation is hourly based, so any sub-hourly phenomenon has to be averaged. This includes the weather data or self-consumption.

    The main reason for this limitation is that we currently consider that Perez’s transposition model is not well calibrated for sub-hourly data (EUPVSEC 2023).

    Sub-hourly simulation should be available in PVSyst 8.1, but the release date is not yet defined (it will be after 2025).

     

    Will the Perez-Driesse model be included as an option in the future?

    • Useful Out and Egrid are the same. I suggest including InvOut 
    • It seems IL Pmax will include grid limitation loss when there is a limit applied in the IL Pmax figure, even if it is set to account for loss separately under energy management. I suggest quantifying IL Pmax as its defined in energy management, or by default include POI loss as a separate value, and let users add together if they want. 
    • EArrayMPP is more useful than EArray, I recommend adding it or replacing EArray with it.

  5. Losses due to specific objects are not isolated. Shading from turbines will be included in both near shadings and electrical loss in the loss diagram. To isolate the turbines run models with and without them, take the delta of shading losses and you can calculate whatever you need. You will also have energy with this, so you can easily calculate overall energy impact monthly, etc. 

  6. The 1100UD is one inverter module that is typically installed with other modules in a single PCS, like the 4400UD-MV. You will have four mppts with the 4400, each 1100 is one mppt as stated above. 

  7. If it still doesn't work you can always model it as I have above 🙂 The gaps will not matter for bifacial calculations, they are not used. The user defines the transparency factor manually which takes into account gaps in structure, modules, etc. So I'd either model as I have or increase the gap in your method if the suggestion above does not work.
