March 7, 20188 yr comment_1538 In the simulation results, can someone please explain the physical meaning of the module specific partial shading and is there a way to present a graph that would show the shading losses during one day (best 21st of December) ? Report
March 8, 20188 yr comment_1540 Hello Ahmad Elghobashy, the "Module-specific Partial Shading" are the losses due to shading on the specific module. This means that these are shadow losses due to trees, other buildings, etc., which have a negative effect on the i-v-curve of the respective module. To illustrate the negative effects on the i-v-curve, simply activate the "Record characteristic curves fo r MPP tracker modules" simulation option under Options > Project Options > Simulation. i-v-curve with shading. To see the losses in a graph you could use the "Carpet Plot". Simply select the data series "Module Area Name: Losses due to shading". In addition, you can display the position of the sun (solar altitude) in our 3D-visualization. To do so, click on the sun at the top of the program (red frame in the picture). Kind regards, Marcel Report
March 11, 20188 yr Author comment_1553 I have 2017 version, is it different than 2018? I can't find Record characteristic curves for MPP tracker modules tick box Report
March 12, 20188 yr comment_1554 Oh, yeah, sorry I forgot to mention it.The i-v curves are one of the new features in PV*SOL 2018, such as the import of different 3D models or polystring configuration. Details can be found in our Release Notes. https://www.valentin-software.com/en/support-service/customer-service/release-notes/pvsol-premium Kind regards, Marcel Report
