Abstract The Photovoltaic (PV) Performance Modeling Collaborative (PVPMC) organized a blind PV performance modeling intercomparison to allow modelers blindly test their models and ability against real system data. Measured weather irradiance data were provided along with detailed descriptions of systems from two locations (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA, Roskilde, Denmark). Participants asked simulate the plane‐of‐array irradiance, module temperature, DC power output six submit results Sandia...
We have developed models using Rhino (3D modeler) and DIVA (Ray-tracing modeler), allowing system-level raytracing simulations which include nearby shade obstructions from the photovoltaic racking structures. The ray-tracing simulated irradiance profiles are coupled with cell-level IV curve modeling to provide insight into shading factor mismatch loss for different configurations. paper focuses on reporting results horizontal single axis tracker (HSAT) fixed bifacial system, included common...
