[TRNSYS-users] Floating photovoltaic component in TRNSYS

[David BRADLEY]

Gokula,

   Type567 contains a somewhat simple electrical model of the PV in that 
it asks you to provide the electrical efficiency either as a constant 
value, as an input, or in a performance map. If you choose one of the 
two modes in which the efficiency is a constant or an input and the 
value is not adjusted according to the cell temperature then you're not 
going to see any change in electrical performance with a change in cell 
temperature. Your best option is probably to use the performance map 
version but then you'll need to edit the data file to describe how the 
electrical efficiency of the PV changes with cell temperature.

kind regards,

  David
