            # PV-Module
---

PV-Module is a Python library which focus is to simulate photovoltaic systems.
This module can simulate both Monofacial & Bifacial modules.

## Installation
---

Use the package manager [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pvmodule) to install foobar.

```bash
pip install pvmodule
```

## Usage
---
### Usage - Location

Using the city name, this method will geolocate its coordinates, elevation, timezone.
To use costum locations, just input the desired parameters and they will overwrite the geolocation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    city: str
      The name of the city in which the system is going to be built.
    latitude: float, default = None,
      A specific latitude to overwrite the automatic search.
    longitude: float, default = None,
      A specific longitude to overwrite the automatic search.
    elevation: float, default = None,
      A specific elevation to overwrite the automatic search.
      This elevation corresponds to how many meters the city is above the sea-level.
    timezone: str, default = None,
      The timezone in which the city is located.
      A specific timezone to overwrite the automatic search.
    name: str, default = None,
      The name of the system. This does not affect anything.

```python
>>> from pvmodule.location import Location

>>> Location = Location()
>>> location = Location.set_location('Lisbon')

>>> print(location.get_info())

{
 'Address': 'Lisboa, Portugal',
 'Latitude': 38.7077507,
 'Longitude': -9.1365919,
 'Elevation': 10.93380069732666,
 'Timezone': 'Europe/Lisbon'
 }
```


### Usage - PV Module Selection
To retrieve a list of 17000+ PV modules the following method can be used with the following parameters.

	Parameters
	----------
	url : str, default = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabio-r-almeida/pvmodule/main/PV_Modules.csv'
		Url to the list of modules. Can also be a .csv file.
	wattage : int, default = None
		Filter modules by a desired Wattage
	BIPV : str, default = None, default values allows both bi-facial and mono-facial modules to appear in the list
		Filter modules by bi-facial or monofacial modules
		  Bi-facial = 'Y'
		  Mono-facial = 'N'
```python
>>> from pvmodule.modules import Modules

>>> Modules = Modules()
>>> module_list = Modules.list_modules()

## TODO
---
- Create a simulation method, in which:
  - Calculate pv production
  - Estimate output energy
- ~~Create annual heatmap~~
- ~~Average Irradiance dependancy due to the changes of azimuth~~
- ~~Inverter efficiencies curves~~


## Versions
---

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

### [0.0.66] to [0.0.130] - 2023-03-20
### Added
- Added new *Graph* class.
- Multithreading yearly horizontal and vertical data acquisition with 
  - *PVGIS().retrieve_all_year_bifacial()*
  - *PVGIS().retrieve_all_year()*
### Fixed
- Improved inverter auto-selection.
- Added error exception in both *Inverter* and *PVGIS* class.
### Removed
- Irradiance class will soon be removed due to incorrect irradiance estimations.
  - This issue is believed to be cause due to the incorrect shadow calculation of the module.


### [0.0.62] to [0.0.65] - 2023-03-04
### Added
- Added a second order spline in order to smoothen out the values from PVGIS.
- Changed the timeframe from 1 hour to 5 minutes.
- Change TMY dates for future 2030 dates.



### [0.0.44] to [0.0.61] - 2023-03-04
### Fixed
- Solved issue where Irradiance calculations could be divided by zero and thus creating unlimited irradiance reaching the PV modules.
- Updated the CEC_Inverters database by adding: 
  - Short circuit currents per inverter;
  - Number of MPPT strings per inverter.
- Bug fixing.


### [0.0.35] to [0.0.43] - 2023-02-28
### Added
- Added reverse Geolocalization using coordinates to determine the address.
### Fixed
- Bug fixing.
### Removed
- Removed Timezone from Location class due to unknown issues.


### [0.0.34] - 2023-01-31
### Added
- Added new class to calculare front and rear irradiance.
### Fixed
- Corrected/updated formulas to calculate spacing between modules.
- Resolved minor bugs.

TODO\n---\n- Create a simulation method, in which:\n  - Calculate pv production\n  - Estimate output energy\n- ~~Create annual heatmap~~\n- ~~Average Irradiance dependancy due to the changes of azimuth~~\n- ~~Inverter efficiencies curves~~\n\n\n## Versions\n---\n\nAll notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.\n\n### [0.0.66] to [0.0.130] - 2023-03-20\n### Added\n- Added new *Graph* class.\n- Multithreading yearly horizontal and vertical data acquisition with \n  - *PVGIS().retrieve_all_year_bifacial()*\n  - *PVGIS().retrieve_all_year()*\n### Fixed\n- Improved inverter auto-selection.\n- Added error exception in both *Inverter* and *PVGIS* class.\n### Removed\n- Irradiance class will soon be removed due to incorrect irradiance estimations.\n  - This issue is believed to be cause due to the incorrect shadow calculation of the module.\n\n\n### [0.0.62] to [0.0.65] - 2023-03-04\n### Added\n- Added a second order spline in order to smoothen out the values from PVGIS.\n- Changed the timeframe from 1 hour to 5 minutes.\n- Change TMY dates for future 2030 dates.\n\n\n\n### [0.0.44] to [0.0.61] - 2023-03-04\n### Fixed\n- Solved issue where Irradiance calculations could be divided by zero and thus creating unlimited irradiance reaching the PV modules.\n- Updated the CEC_Inverters database by adding: \n  - Short circuit currents per inverter;\n  - Number of MPPT strings per inverter.\n- Bug fixing.\n\n\n### [0.0.35] to [0.0.43] - 2023-02-28\n### Added\n- Added reverse Geolocalization using coordinates to determine the address.\n### Fixed\n- Bug fixing.\n### Removed\n- Removed Timezone from Location class due to unknown issues.\n\n\n### [0.0.34] - 2023-01-31\n### Added\n- Added new class to calculare front and rear irradiance.\n### Fixed\n- Corrected/updated formulas to calculate spacing between modules.\n- Resolved minor bugs.\n\n\n\n\n\n## Contributing\n---\n\nPull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first\nto discuss what you would like to change.\n\nPlease make sure to update tests as appropriate.\n\n## License\n---\n\n[MIT](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/)\n\n## Copyright\n---\n\nCopyright (c), 2023, Fabio Ramalho de Almeida\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy\nof this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal\nin the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights\nto use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell\ncopies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is\nfurnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all\ncopies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR\nIMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,\nFITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
