plr_build_var_list {PVplr}

Build a Custom Variable List

Description

The default var_list generator, plr_variable_check, assumes data comes from SDLE's sources. If you are using this package with your own data, the format may not line up appropriately. Use this function to create a variable list to be passed to other functions so they can keep track of what column names mean.

Usage

plr_build_var_list(time_var, power_var, irrad_var, temp_var, wind_var)

Arguments

time_var

The variable representing time. Typically, a timestamp.

power_var

The variable representing time. Typically, in watts.

irrad_var

The variable representing irradiance. Typically, either poa or ghi irradiance.

temp_var

The variable representing temperature. Package functions assume Celcius.

wind_var

optional; The variable representing wind speed.

Value

Returns dataframe of variable names for the given photovoltaic data for use with later functions

Examples

var_list <- plr_build_var_list(time_var = "timestamp",
                               power_var = "power",
                               irrad_var = "g_poa",
                               temp_var = "mod_temp",
                               wind_var = NA)
