Historical notes

2024-02-13

• More proof that these tools are useful! The module efficiency functions were put to good use in this new study by Lelia Deville and her colleagues.

2021-10-17

• New module power_conversion, which introduces a function for calculating the ADR inverter model coefficients and more.

2021-08-11

• The IEC 61853 spectral factor function has a new option integration_limit. Explanations are provided in the doc string.

2020-12-02

• Seven models and a model fitting function are now available, and the example code shows how to fit them to data and calculate rms error for comparisons. And of course there are nice graphs.

• The new module module_efficiency.py contains functions for:

  • the new ADR model

  • HEY

  • MotherPV

  • PVGIS

  • MPM5

  • MPM6

  • bilinear

  • fitting any of the models to measurements
