Photovoltaic¶
PV array (Buildings PVSimpleOriented): P = AfActetaeta_DCAC(HDir + HDif)
FastSmoothBuildings.Electrical.Photovoltaic, model (source)
Purpose
Electrical power of a photovoltaic array of area A, azimuth azi and tilt til,
proportional to the irradiance on its plane
(TiltedSurface):
P = A fact η ηDC/AC (Hdir + Hdif),
with the fraction of the area with active cells fAct, the module efficiency eta and the
efficiency of the inverter eta_DCAC, all constant. The meter EPro integrates the
production in kWh.
Relation to Buildings
The power of Buildings' PVSimpleOriented. The model has no electrical connector: the power is the
variable P.
