bifacial_radiance.ModuleObj.calculatePerformance#
- ModuleObj.calculatePerformance(effective_irradiance, CECMod=None, temp_air=None, wind_speed=1, temp_cell=None, glassglass=None)[source]#
The module parameters are given at the reference condition. Use pvlib.pvsystem.calcparams_cec() to generate the five SDM parameters at your desired irradiance and temperature to use with pvlib.pvsystem.singlediode() to calculate the IV curve information.:
Inputs#
- effective_irradiancenumeric
Dataframe or single value. Must be same length as temp_cell
- CECModDict
Dictionary with CEC Module PArameters for the module selected. Must contain at minimum alpha_sc, a_ref, I_L_ref, I_o_ref, R_sh_ref, R_s, Adjust
- temp_airnumeric
Ambient temperature in Celsius. Dataframe or single value to calculate. Must be same length as effective_irradiance. Default = 20C
- wind_speednumeric
Wind speed at a height of 10 meters [m/s]. Default = 1 m/s
- temp_cellnumeric
Back of module temperature. If provided, overrides temp_air and wind_speed calculation. Default = None
- glassglassboolean
If module is glass-glass package (vs glass-polymer) to select correct thermal coefficients for module temperature calculation
