modelPartialPV
Base model for a PV system
Extends from Buildings.Electrical.Interfaces.PartialPvBase (Partial model with basic parameters for PVs).
Information
Partial model of a simple photovoltaic array.
This model computes the power as P=A fact η G, where A is the panel area, fact is the fraction of the aperture area, η is the panel efficiency and G is the total solar irradiation.
Note: This model takes as input the total solar irradiation on the panel. This has to be computed converting the incoming radiation to take tilt and azimuth into account.
The electrical connector is a general electrical interface.
