Performance of a PV pumping system

Description

Compute every step from solar angles to effective irradiance to calculate the performance of a PV pumping system.

Usage

prodPVPS(lat,
         modeTrk = 'fixed',
         modeRad = 'prom',
         dataRad,
         sample = 'hour',
         keep.night = TRUE,
         sunGeometry = 'michalsky',
         corr, f,
         betaLim = 90, beta = abs(lat)-10, alfa = 0,
         iS = 2, alb = 0.2, horizBright = TRUE, HCPV = FALSE,
         pump , H,
         Pg, converter= list(),
         effSys = list(),
         ...)

Arguments

`lat`	numeric, latitude (degrees) of the point of the Earth where calculations are needed. It is positive for locations above the Equator.
`modeTrk`	A character string, describing the tracking method of the generator. See `calcGef` for details.
`modeRad`, `dataRad`	Information about the source data of the global irradiation. See `calcG0` for details.
`sample`, `keep.night`	See `calcSol` for details.
`sunGeometry`	`character`, method for the sun geometry calculations. See `calcSol`, `fSolD` and `fSolI`.
`corr`, `f`	See `calcG0` for details.
`betaLim`, `beta`, `alfa`, `iS`, `alb`, `horizBright`, `HCPV`	See `calcGef` for details.
`pump`	A `list` extracted from `pumpCoef`
`H`	Total manometric head (m)
`Pg`	Nominal power of the PV generator (Wp)
`converter`	`list` containing the nominal power of the frequency converter, `Pnom`, and `Ki`, vector of three values, coefficients of the efficiency curve.
`effSys`	list of numeric values with information about the system losses, `ModQual` average tolerance of the set of modules (%), default value is 3 `ModDisp` module parameter disperssion losses (%), default value is 2 `OhmDC` Joule losses due to the DC wiring (%), default value is 1.5 `OhmAC` Joule losses due to the AC wiring (%), default value is 1.5
`...`	Additional arguments for `calcSol`, `calcG0` and `calcGef`.

Details

The calculation of the irradiance on the generator is carried out with the function calcGef. The performance of the PV system is simulated with fPump.

Value

A ProdPVPS object.
