PVsystCLI: Changing Simulation Parameters

[Gustavo Pianovski]

Hello,

Is it possible to change of LID loss, ground albedo, soiling loss, simulation year and others parameters using PVsystCLI? For example, pseudo sub-hourly simulation with change of simulation year.

Thank you!

[Michele Oliosi]

At the moment, changing the parameters programmatically can only be done via PVsyst (by using the batch mode to create and/or simulate new variants).

In the future, we will extend the use of CLI so that parameters can be changed programmatically only using PVsystCLI.

Thank you Michele!

When will this be implemented in PVsystCLI?

 

[Michele Oliosi]

Right now we are looking at the next minor version of PVsyst (8.1), but that could still change (before or after) of course.

[Gustavo Pianovski]

Do you have an updated estimate for when this will be implemented?

 

[Michele Oliosi]

For most practical purposes, this is already available in the latest 8.0 version. Indeed, PVsystCLI has been made compatible with batch files. In other words, you can call a batch of simulations from PVsystCLI using a batch parameters file.

You can find some more details on this page: https://www.pvsyst.com/help-cli/reference/index.html#run-simulation

The command that you should look at is --batch-params-file
