Aparna Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi,I am a new user of PVsyst software. I would like to know how one can find the P90 value for a particular P50 simulation result in PVsyst 5.68. Is this provision available in this version of PVsyst? Does PVsyst help documentation describe how to manually calculate the same?Thanks and regards,Aparna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Mermoud Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Please see the Description of the P50-P90 treatment in the FAQ. This new tool was developed in the version 6.11. It is not available in versions 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivekjk Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hi Andre,We are Owner's Engineers to a client setting up a 20MW solar PV power plant in India.We have always considered the default PVsyst energy report as equivalent to P-50 estimation. We have now been asked to furnish evidence in support. Is there any available literature or description in PVsyst which says the default energy simulation is P-50 value?RegardsVivek Jayakumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Wittmer Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 To be able to interpret the simulation output as P50 value, one has to use an average over many years as meteorological input, not the data of a specific year.The PVsyst default is to use Meteonorm data, which is indeed an average over many years.If you use a different meteorological source, make sure it represent the average climate of the geographical location, like for example data sets with a Typical Meteorological Year (TMY).NB: PVsyst also allows to use a shift for taking the climate change into account. We observe - at least in Europe - a significant increase of the annual irradiation (of the order of 5%) with respect to the end of the last century.
