SImulation in the same variant of 3D scene with different pitchs

[Vinh Thinh]

Hi All,

 

I am currently using PVsyst version 8.0.9 and in the 3D scene, I am trying to export a .pvc file created with PVcase in which there are two different pitch values. While activating the bifacial features, I encounter an issue that does not allow to compute the simulation since the pitch is not sufficiently homogeneous.

With PVsyst 8.0 is there a way to simulate in the same variant bifacial system with different pitch values? Am I trying to get the simulation in one single variant and not in two variants (one with a pitch of 9m and the other with pitch of 12m) and do the post-calculation. The reason is that I am trying to identify the impact of shadow casting of wind turbinesand those wind turbines are near trackers with both 9m pitch and 12 m pitch.

Below, there is a screenshot of the problem. 

Any help is really appreciated.

Best regards,

Vinh

Hello,

This is possibly by creating two "orientations". Thus create one orientation for each pitch (even though they have the same orientation) and assign the bifacial parameters individually for each orientation.

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

My problem is that when I import the pvc file with the shading scene I do not know how to associate the different pitch to the two system sub-arrays. Like in this case, I have already created two sub-arrays in System design for the two pitch values, but how can I associate them correctly? If I click on one of the two group of the 3D fields, it highlights a mix of trackers with the two different pitch values.

Hello,

You can use the lasso selection (Ctrl+Shift+L) to mark all the tables that belongs to the concerned orientation  and in the "List and management if objects" window (Ctrl+G) you can change the orientation of all the marked tables.
