Using v6.8.3, I get a horizon profile from within PVsyst just fine.
-
Check newest version released last week, thought I saw a note about PVGIS import data.
-
It was my understanding PVsyst cant simulate at all in the same shade scene trackers with different tilts, batch mode or not.
-
It looks like it is total system production, what is being sent to battery + what is being sent to grid.

Hello PVsyst team, Can you elaborate on the changes made with regards to soiling in version 6.8.2? The description window states: "Deep review of the soiling treatment" Thank you.
-
The Rsh and Rshunt exponential are different in my 390W PAN file, but that's not to say yours are incorrect. As long as you have your own 390W PAN file to go off of, it should be ok.
-
It looks like you are missing the cell dimensions in the PAN file (122.2 cm^2 is my guess based on the 390W). Verify you have the correct power temperature coefficient Pmpp. Also your Rshunt G=0 & Rsh dont match the 390W PAN file.

Chint Power Systems Inverter Stringing Trouble
dtarin replied to jstrutz's topic in Shadings and tracking

Hello, It is currently a shortcoming in PVsyst when defining a table size less than the width of the string (when defining partitions), as this results in lower electrical effect losses. It is not always possible to define a table size one string in width, such as cases where sites contain complex undulations or unique geometries, and a smaller table size is needed. The module layout method does not always work (https://forum.pvsyst.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4334), nor is it applicable to large sites. Development to address this shortcoming by allowing smaller tables to be joined into one string would be much appreciated.

Yes that is problem in PVsyst. You might need to manually place them, by first setting the azimuth to face that direction, and then set the tilt.
-
My guess is that you will need to contact the inverter manufacturer for this information, as it could depend on the internal architecture of the inverter and how they have designed it to operate.
-
Yes That is correct 1) 4 H x 1 W 2) 2 H x 2 W 3) 1 H x 4 L Yes, the lowest current drives the current of the string, so in #3, when the bottom modules are shaded, the entire string has reduced output. The according to strings method of shading will capture this effect for c-Si modules (setting electrical effect to 100%).

I am still receiving this in 6.79 https://i.imgur.com/qt0gJ3B.jpg

Modules change color when you render the shade scene into realistic view. It would be nice if they changed color in all views though. https://i.imgur.com/R0AtAGg.jpg

Before project is run. Under project settings, when you make the change, the project will need to be saved, and will use that transposition method you selected
-
Correct, azimuth does change. If the "update orientation parameters" function is part of the process, it would update each of these parameters for each run and be able to execute is my guess/suggestion.

Here is another example of the PVsyst report giving different results than expected. Am I going about this the wrong way? Any help is appreciated. https://i.imgur.com/LRgv2RC.jpg

How does "Irradiance optimization" option works in Pvsyst 6.7.9

I am also interested in knowing more about this and where it originated from, how it works, etc. -
Batch Simulation - Error: No Parameters Were Changed
dtarin replied to asboulton's topic in Problems / Bugs
Did you ever resolve this? -
Hello, How does PVsyst determine the Shed spacing value on the PVsyst report? When I have a shade scene with varying row spacings, there is a single value displayed. I did a test with a simple block and three rows, and found that it is not an average. The value displayed changed depending on where I placed the modules (relative to the X axis), which doesnt immediately make sense to me as to what PVsyst is doing. See photo for what I mean by that. Appreciate any info you can provide. The left and right shade scenes were modeled separately. The shorter pitch is 20m, and the larger pitch is 30m. Average pitch should be 25m. Energy is the same, I just need to know if this value shown on the report for more complex sites where there is a greater degree of variation in pitch between multiple rows can be useful in some way. https://i.imgur.com/Gjxe0yD.jpg

The bifacial calculation presently only uses the unlimited sheds method (in the bifacial settings), but I believe this will change in the future. The use of a 3D shade scene is for shading loss calculations, and is more accurate than the unlimited sheds method (whether it's bifacial or not). It also allows you to include nearby shading object such as trees or poles if present on your site.

Hello, When using module layout in 6.79, the filling method is not filling strings in order. When defining the fill method as "string on one row", in a 4x6 table configuration, PVsyst is using the first six modules of the first four strings to fill the first table, and when moving to the next table, it is not using the remaining modules from the first four strings to continue filling. It is using modules from the next 4 strings, instead of completing the first four strings. The end result is strings are disconnected and very remote from one another. Whether distributing all or manually distributing one table at a time, it is not possible to string such that three tables make one string in length and four in height. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/nscW8olL8Z6jidpsI1ro9iLqoym2Xx_-67PW5NUpKBGGBJUXb4ozXukQE1FsKmAxnhZlLzDjfU4uENo7X1pOdvdDVUTkMCqIKINRm9MVgVeTUT58Yhavpv0kADTN9hN6qALlXsFms7yRJl_1h0zbXhqhdAb-_rHMesjaWf2VsvXxK9vo_RsVRFiZCT1ViGMZfcG5LZhSuPZv0KpDA4LD6XQnn_dQMTMZDuyzIAFWaKhCz-Z1-WgWohjox4X87-Cl9Q6l-avvVkA1MoNsAQhcFKlRHYS6oPdFWJyRzhm8yY5u56rVIqoOT9wey7V2b1QuuT7aKSKJjaedQCLsfH3xzRZsZlwzcNwLbJ238YlKc5iL_pp8azIhM5Y51zKrvO64VTHPn976Ob9r2-CFuAAAiQUkSqHYm5BipL2qr0vdJ3S4NlQuKOP7S4QzL0Y_MIgVJ-P9xtihPIdQIwNV2MSn09IYjS5J4paWRTqVtAW3NyIHvfziT8PSokLD1KH4w6B9njYQP7_utKPhGwTMxL5l5QOAy9_0riZCABrge147jD3tD7bItfibYgU75ZKjHSW-AJgNPrM0-yIej6mxFP10uzlHYkFyxukgqiIHPIVAAl8x6xSjnrmBEsJtgw1VuUP8Y5Z-GeWsCmlAzFu4-dkuGHhkiDUVNg=w1137-h582-no

Does PVsyst have any plans to allow the linking of smaller partitions to create a full partition? Such as when modeling with 4Hx6L tables, three of them will count as one string in length (if defined that way)?

Hello, PVsyst is unable to batch process the tilt variable when ground terrain is incorporated. It seems that what PVsyst is doing is when a tilt is selected, it adjusts the tilt of the tables in the shade scene, and in the orientations section, to the input value on the batch parameters file. However when ground terrain is included, the tables, when set to a given tilt, do not add end up at that tilt; it may be 25.1 degrees instead of 25 degrees. The error shown states "orientation", so this may include both the effective tilt and azimuth calculated in the shade scene with terrain. It would be ideal if PVsyst, in the batch simulation process, took not the value(s) entered by the user in the batch parameters file directly for the orientation input, but instead the effective orientation (tilt/azimuth) from the shade scene, which is calculated after all tables are set to a specific tilt/azimuth (given in the batch parameters file), and used that for the orientation parameter, so that the shade scene orientation and that entered in the orientations section matched. For bifacial simulations, it would be necessary to have this updated as well based on the result from the shade scene. Perhaps more simply, the "update orientation parameters" step is missing from the batch simulation procedure (see second image)
