Creating an OND file from inverter data sheet

[1Plasmon]

Hello,

How can I create an OND file for an inverter that is not listed on Photon D/B or in PVsyst library nor the supplier has it either?

Thanks

Have you tried to create a new OND file by filling the parameters in "Grid Inverter Definition" dialog? If no, you can access it from Tools/Grid Inverter/New. Some of them may be not easy to define, such as the efficiency curve. But others could be obtained through the specification.

Good luck.

Thank you! I will try that. A.

When in "Tools" / "Inverter" database, you have a button "New".

The easiest way: choose an existing inverter (analogous to yours), modify the parameters according to your datasheets, and save it under another name, thus creating a new component in the database.

The filename is the "primary Key" of each database element. I have taken the convetion to define it as "Manufacturer_Model.OND".
