Hourly optimal tilt to keep a constant current from a PV module

[Abid Ali]

Hello,

 

Are am working on a research project to get a constant current from a PV module through adjusting tilt.

 

Can I do it using PVsyst to get the expected hourly tilt values (for example for one day for for a specific location) before designing a experimental setup?

 

Thanks

Run yearly simulations at every tilt angle, analyze the 8760 at each hour to determine tilt associated with desired current.

Thanks. Which option I should use to get yearly simulation?

 

Can I do this without using a load? Just through selecting a PV modules and a location?

Grid connected PV system. After entering in your system and losses, under advanced simulation, you can run batch mode to run multiple simulations and specify the tilt angle to use. Output the results to excel file (.csv).

Great, many thanks. I highly appreciate you for the swift response and help

I need to investigate hourly PV module output current and voltage for different tilt.

 

For example when I run batch simulation using tilt= 0 to 65 degrees, PV output current is summed in AH for each tilt case. 

 

How to get time series hourly PV ouput for each tilt separately? i.e average current in A instead of summed in Ah

I got my answer through following this. Thanks

Go to advanced sim > output file, select to create a file, select the variables you wish to include. Then, go to batch sim, set up your items there, and confirm the output variables there in the last tab.
