Software Description:
PVsyst is a PC software package for the study,sizing, simulation and data analysis of complete PV systems.
PVsyst is designed to be used by architects, engineer, andresearchers. It is also a very useful educative tool.
It includes a detailed contextual Help menu that explains theprocedures and models that are used, and offers a user-freindlyapproach with guide to develop a project. PVsyst is able to importmeteo data from many different sources, as well as personaldata.
PVsyst presents results in the form of a full report,specificgraphs and tables, and data can be exported for use in othersoftware.
Management of the project
For a given project (a defined site and meteo), you can constructseveral variations for your system (“calculation versions”).
System design board
The system design is based on a quick and simple procedure:
– Specify the desired power or available area
– Choose the PV module from the internal database
– Choose the inverter from the internal database
PVsyst will propose an array/system configuration, that allows youto conduct a preliminary simulation.
System sizing: Visual tool
A specific tool gathers all constraints for the sizing of thesystem:
For the number of modules in a series: the upper diagram shows theI/V curve of the PV array, together with the MPPT range, voltage,power, and current limits of the inverter.
For the inverter sizing: the second graph displays the annualdistribution of the array power, with the array and inverternominal power
The optimal sizing of the inverter is based on the acceptableoverload loss throughout the year. It usually leads to over-sizethe power ratio (array nominal power by respect to the inverternom. AC power), by a factor of 1.25.
After a good system sizing, you can define different losses likefar and near shadings using a full 3D editor for the definition ofthe environmental and near shading conditions.
Specialized tools are also provided for the evaluation of thewiring losses (and other losses like the module quality), themismatch between modules, soiling, thermal behavior according tothe mechanical mounting, system unavailability, etc.
Simulation and results report:
The simulation calculates the distribution of energies throughoutthe year.
Main results:
1.The total energy production [MWh/y] is essential for theevaluation of the PV system’s profitability.
2.The Performance Ratio (PR [%]) describes the quality of thesystem itself.
3.The specific energy [kWh/kWp] is an indicator of production basedon the available irradiation (location and orientation).
Shows the main energies and gains/losses involved in thesimulation,
Powerful tool for a quick analysis of the system’s behavior, andpotential improvements in the design.
