I feel that we should have some kind of distributed celebration for closing the oldest issue.
from pvlib-python.
Of the remaining items, Huld's DC model and perhaps the read ISD/ISH functions are worth considering. I wouldn't object to adding the Orgill and Hollands model. I would consider removing pvlib.irradiance.king
since there will never be an archival publication to reference.
from pvlib-python.
ISD is global data primarily for aviation. Sometimes (not common) there is an irradiance sensor, but mostly I've used it for air temperature and wind. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/integrated-surface-database
from pvlib-python.
Where can we find PVLIB-matlab 1.2?
Is it this one?
https://github.com/Sandia-Labs/PVLIB_Matlab/commits/master
Is the documentation of functions online?
It looks that one needs to be logged in:
https://pvpmc.sandia.gov/resources-for-members/pv_lib-toolbox/matlab/functions-by-catagory/
And is it planned to develop matlab & python libs always in parallel?
anyway, I would like to see in future Shading and Soiling (Item 3) as well as AC Losses (Item 9) of
https://pvpmc.sandia.gov/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/1199X499_slide2.png
But maybe these deserve a separate page/issue.
from pvlib-python.
PVLIB-Matlab 1.2 is only available at the PVPMC website. The github PVLIB_Matlab repository is an older version and may be removed. @Calama-Consulting you might want to ask Josh if he wants the matlab project available on github since it may hurt their official download statistics.
The readme has a link to the documentation.
We want to keep the core functionality and algorithms of the python and matlab projects roughly in parallel, but we're not making any promises at this point.
Yes, please do make separate issues for any feature requests.

OK, so login and find out...

So this means:
PVPMC adds a functionality and then issues a release, then the pvlib-python would be updated?
A rather parallel process?
In consequence, one would have to know Mtalab, as well?

OK, one the development strategy discussed here is clear.

The read me for this github repo has a line
"Full documentation can be found at readthedocs"
Which links to
http://pvlib-python.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
This is the Pvlib Python documentation only.
The Matlab and Python projects are developed by different teams that do not
regularly work together. There will not be feature parity, only similarity.

OK, this is more clear.
Consequently, you may decide to spearhead with new features and then the Matlab will follow?
Or is pvlib after a similar feature set but more driven by its developers/users?
Maybe good also to limit the scope and compare it to other packages such as https://github.com/pingswept/pysolar. Then teh docs cloud show where pvlib by its intention will be different apart from the more sphisticated tied-in to the scipy stack with the reliance on pandas (very positive).
I am thinking of something like:
Related Packages
http://statsmodels.sourceforge.net/devel/related.html
Looking forward to your feedback on this and the above questions.
from pvlib-python.
Pvlib Python already has a few features that the Matlab version doesn't
have. It's up to the Matlab developers to update their code where possible.
I can only say that the Python project will try to stay current with most
things that the Matlab project adds.
The Python project will be mostly community supported, whereas the Matlab
project is mostly supported by u.s. department of energy grants.
The Python project is very much tied to the scientific Python stack. This
would not be feasible without those libraries.
Our pvsc 2015 abstract and rob's 2014 PVSC paper outline the scope of this
project.
Pysolar is much more limited in scope and is gpl licensed. Nothing against
Pysolar, it's just different.
I will put some of this in the docs/readme.

Thanks a lot.
So next could be a series of feature plans that can be added to the roadmap.
from pvlib-python.
Here's a list of the v1.2 Matlab project's functions that we're missing (from the 1.2 help page):
- pvl_louche - Estimate Direct Normal Irradiance from Global Horizontal Irradiance using the LOUCHE model
- pvl_orgill_hollands - Estimate Direct Normal Irradiance from Global Horizontal Irradiance using the Orgill and Hollands model
- pvl_erbs - Estimate Direct Normal Irradiance from Global Horizontal Irradiance using the Erbs model
- pvl_reindl_1 - Estimate Direct Normal Irradiance from Global Horizontal Irradiance using the Reindl 1 model
- pvl_reindl_2 - Estimate Direct Normal Irradiance from Global Horizontal Irradiance using the Reindl 2 model
- pvl_martinruiziam - Determine the incidence angle modifier using the Martin and Ruiz incident angle model
- pvl_adrinverter - Anton Driesse's Grid-Connected PV Inverter
I also looked at the changelog but most of it has either already been incorporated or is Matlab specific.
Many of these would be good first PRs.
from pvlib-python.
Maybe Anton could implement "his Inverter" ;-) @adriesse?
from pvlib-python.
Sure. What's the best way to publish a
collection of model parameters?
Anton
from pvlib-python.
Thanks. I suggest a csv file in pvlib/data
since this can be easily imported by pandas.
from pvlib-python.
Copy/paste from PVPMC's recent PVLIB Matlab 1.3 announcement...
- pvl_FSspeccorr: Spectral mismatch modifier function contributed by First Solar based on precipitable water.
- pvl_calcPwat: function to estimate precipitable water content
- pvl_huld: PV performance model of Huld et al., 2011
- pvl_PVsyst_parameter_estimation: function to estimate PVsyst module parameters from IV curves.
- pvl_calcparams_PVsyst: Calculates the five parameters for an IV curve using the PVsyst model.
- pvl_desoto_parameter_estimation: function to estimate Desoto module parameters from IV curves.
- pvl_getISDdata: Functions to access ground measured weather data from NOAA's Integrated Surface Data network
from pvlib-python.
Will,
I put version 1.3 together. The PVPMC notice is only highlights, here’s the full list of new functions and changes copied from the Matlab toolbox release notes.

% # Changed |pvl_erbs|, |pvl_louche|, |pvl_orgill_hollands|, |pvl_reindl_1|,
% and |pvl_reindl_2| to output DNI, DHI and Kt, and to clarify each model’s description.
% # Corrected description of |pvl_kingdiffuse| to clarify that the King
% diffuse model estimates total plane-of-array diffuse (sky diffuse and ground reflected irradiance).
% # Included databases of CEC module model coefficients (|CECModuleDatabaseSAM2015.6.30.mat|) and Sandia inverter
% model coefficients (|CECInverterDatabaseSAM2015.6.30.mat) from SAM2015.6.30.

I intend to create a function to calculate the sandia inverter coefficients
from datasheet and CEC efficiency information. I was planning to use Santa
Clara as my motivation to get it done, either before or during.
I think it would be considered another in the parameter_estimation set of
functions?

Absolutely. In fact I have some matlab code already but it's not in pvlib format yet.
from pvlib-python.
@jforbess that sounds great. I suggest creating a new issue if you'd like to discuss it further.
from pvlib-python.
Just wanted to let folks know that the Matlab help files are available at a new location on the PVPMC website: https://pvpmc.sandia.gov/PVLIB_Matlab_Help/
I have been updating and cleaning up the website and several old links no longer work. Please let me know if you find any problems.
from pvlib-python.
Thanks @jsstein, I'll add a link to this page from our documentation.
from pvlib-python.
I suggest we close this issue and open more specific ones when needed.
from pvlib-python.
PVGIS is using Huld model. What data are in ISD/ISH? Is it just rain & snow data? How are these data archived? API, FTP, or HTTP? Maybe this could be part of iotools
? What about GSOD data?
from pvlib-python.
Issues for ISD and GSOD: #759 #668
I'm going to close this but other maintainers can reopen it if they feel it still has value.
from pvlib-python.
