Exclusions Area Handling
What’s Changed
- added exclusion pixel area attribute for exclusion layer handler and … (#180) @grantbuster
Competitive wind farms bugfix
Update rex and PySAM dependencies
What’s Changed
- Require rex 0.1.10 which fixes slicing
- Require pySAM 2.1.4 which improves pvwattsv7
Fix dependencies
What’s Changed
- Add missing packages requirement
Fix handling of multi-fraction exclusions
Integration and update to PySAM v2
What’s Changed
- Offshore wind data columns built in - Gb/more orca cols (#171) @grantbuster
- Additional QA module for exclusions with plot and npy output - Qa excl (#168) @MRossol
- PySAM version 2 is now supported and required - Gb/pysam2 (#169) @grantbuster
- Requested reV technology must now match the SAM module string (pvwattsv5, pvwattsv7, windpower, tcsmoltensalt).
Notes on PySAM V2
-
Pvwattsv7 is now the “latest and greatest”
- There are additional pvwatts inputs like grid limits, snow loss, and a simple battery model
- Back-end module efficiencies have been increased since pvwattsv5
- Self shading was enabled for all systems
- There is a new spectral correction that requires elevation as input
-
Pvwattsv5 is maintained for legacy runs
- There is a minor change in self-shading for single axis trackers since PySAM v1 (won’t be able to reproduce old results exactly)
-
Windpower is mostly unchanged
- Icing and low temp cutoff models have been fixed and are now runnable off of reV master
- Loss inputs have gotten more detailed. Previous “wind_farm_losses_percent” key is now “turb_generic_loss". This will be patched on-the-fly and a warning will be raised. Let me know if you find any more of these.
