sunpeek.components.iam_methods.IAM_Ambrosetti

class sunpeek.components.iam_methods.IAM_Ambrosetti(kappa, plant=None)

Bases: IAM_Method

Determine the IAM for given incidence angles aoi [degrees], using the Ambrosetti formula.

Parameters:

kappa (float) – exponent used for the Ambrosetti function

Methods

__init__(kappa[, plant])	A simple constructor that allows initialization from kwargs.
add_component_attr(name[, unit, minimum, ...])
all_subclasses([c])
define_component_attrs()
get_component_attribute(name)
get_default_unit(name)	Return default unit of a class attribute defined as ComponentParam.
get_iam(aoi, **kwargs)	Determines the IAM for given incidence angles aoi [degrees] and difference between solar and collector azimuth angle [degrees].
register_callback(callback_type, func)
set_component_attribute(name, value, array_type)

classmethod get_default_unit(name)

Return default unit of a class attribute defined as ComponentParam.

Return type:

str

get_iam(aoi, **kwargs)

Determines the IAM for given incidence angles aoi [degrees] and difference between solar and collector azimuth angle [degrees].

Parameters:

• aoi (pd.Series) – The angle of incidence (AOI) between the module normal vector and the sun-beam vector, as pint (unit aware) pandas Series. Angles of NaN will result in NaN.

• azimuth_diff (pd.Series) – The difference between solar and collector azimuth angle, as pint (unit aware) pandas Series.
