How to change default hourly data storage

[Helios210]

Hi folks,

I've been going through the settings (unsuccessfully) looking for a way to change the default hourly data storage parameters made when a new variant is created, I want to do this to avoid having to:

a) remember to update this list each and every time

b) actually update the list!

Thanks,

H

Please explain what you mean by "Default hourly data storage parameters" ?

Which list ?

Hi André,

Thanks for the response, you can get to the dialog I'm referring to as follows:

Project design > Grid connected > Advanced Simul. > Hourly data storage

I have to reset this for each of my simulations in order to do certain comparisons in PVsyst, it would be much better if I could set a default list of parameters to always be included.

Best,

H

This is indeed not possible. PVsyst requires to ask for creating an hourly file explicitly before simulation, for avoiding filling your disk with a lot of dummy files.

Now if you have several runs with different parameters for optimizations, you are advised to use the Batch mode. Here you can choose getting the hourly CSV file for each simulation.

Your list of parameters is kept with your Variant file, and eventually for the next file you will create/open. You can also save it as a template, for reusing it in any other project.
