sunpeek.components.iam_methods.IAM_Interpolated#

class sunpeek.components.iam_methods.IAM_Interpolated(iam_reference, aoi_reference, plant=None)#

Determine the incidence angle modifier by interpolating over a set of given reference values.

Parameters:

iam_reference (list) – Reference values for IAM values at certain incidence angles. (must match with aoi_reference)
aoi_reference (list) – Reference values for IAM values at certain incidence angles. (must match with iam_reference)

Methods

`__init__`(iam_reference, aoi_reference[, 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, azimuth_diff)	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.

get_iam(aoi, azimuth_diff)#

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.
