PVsyst can directly import data from the databank of AWCC. One can directly upload the datasheets of the components to AWCC, and it could provide connectivity to other PVsyst functions. One can also manually enter the data, such as the values of the active and reactive power, voltage, current, dielectric loss, and much more during the PVsyst version 6.6.4 installation. And the method between the AWCC and PVsyst include several forms, communication tools like e-mail, transfer, FTP, and ICS.
Device characterization will be carried out on a PV-system usually by two methods: operational and MC simulation. The operational method is the most popular method, but MC simulation is always recommended when possible. It is in this way that users can be sure of obtaining maximum accuracy, since the parameters' characterization method(s) are well controlled by the users as only their own code is being tested and its results are checked for accuracy. The result of the MC simulation is a PV-system behavior, while operational results are the current in each PV-module and the power. A common example is to use the operational results to estimate the 1-year (or the half-year) average current in each PV-module and, then, estimate the 1-year (or the half-year) average of operational power by multiplying these two quantities. Many PVsyst users model the hourly variations of current in every PV-module in a PPC (PVsyst Inverter) in order to estimate the 1-year (or the half-year) average daily current by dividing the total current by 2 or 4, depending on the daily hours of operation.
Release 6.8.0 of the PVsyst software features several enhancements to the precision of the simulation. The basic functionality is unchanged, however, the PVsyst 6.8 release now uses the new solver. Read more .
