Shadings : conversion of fixed tables to trackers, new trackers with central gap parameter for bifacial, import of trackers from Helios3D, import of PVC files System : unlimited number of sub-arrays Irradiance: new improved treatment of the circumsolar component, impacts on the electrical shadings and vertical Bi-facial systems Support of 64-bit architectures : this will extend PVsyst capabilities of handling large projects and shading scenes Sometimes Error in Efficiency 3 voltages (Cubic interpolation artefacts). Shadings: fixed module spacing management in fields Module Layout: fixed module attribution for polygonal fields Fixed a crash when importing or reading an empty ground object 3D scene : trackers imported from external files or generated by zones are now handled correctly by PVsyst allowing to proceed to the simulation, tilts and azimuths are averaged to compute the transposition calculations Implemented Current loss per MPPT input when not using the UsesMultiMPPT option System: Adapted multi-orientation daily sharing window to unlimited number of sub-arrays System: Adapted power sharing window to unlimited number of sub-arrays Added a loss for the HV line after the HV transfer up to the grid connexion AC ohmic losses: wire defined for individual inverters instead of global
Module layout: Improvement of the strings' attribution to modules, especially with odd-numbers of modules in series
Module layout: Implementation of twin-half-cut cell modules with optimizers General: Improved the advanced parameters accessibility 3D scene : the group modification tool has been improved 3D scene : it is now possible to fill a zone with tilted-axis trackers Report fully drawn in 600DPI for the finest details.
Table of contents bookmarked/linked to pages when saved as PDF New summary page for a quick overview of the project, variant and results New cover page fully customizable with image, text, contact information New design based on automatic and modular "blocks" of content Final report complete overhaul featuring: Losses: fixed the accounting for array losses whenever the array power is almost null. Meteo import: solved an issue with the filenames. Simulation for tracking big systems: optimized the calculation of the integrals for diffuse Shadings: fixed bugs in Polygonal fields definitions Does not change the final results of the simulation Grid limitation losses: fixed a bug in the accounting of the grid limitation losses. This may slightly change the results of Module Layout calculations Module Layout: fixed numerical finding of maxima in PV-curves.
Help: update pages about partition in strings of modules, AC losses, inverter limits and current limitation Simulation performance: with trackers, the integrals for diffuse values are now saved with the variant file PV module: in submodules layout definition, added a category "Exotic" for diverse not standard modules Module layout: check of the suitability of the PV module (number of diodes, submodule layout should be "In Length" or "TwinHalfCut") Bifacial: modified and updated 2D model acceptability conditions
Language: complete software translation into Japanese and Chinese. Meteo data: integration of SOLCAST as meteorological data source Meteo data: implemented new Meteonorm 8 meteorological database This dialog allows now the analysis of the pitches in the whole scene, and identifies the possible incompatibilities
Backtracking: new dialog for the management of the pitch between independent tables, and choosing the reference pair of trackers. Reports: you can now compare two reports side by side with a highlight on the differences This tool is also useful to understand the modifications of the orientation of the plane according to the base slope Shadings: new pedagogic tool for calculating and viewing angles between planes. This dialog includes now tools for analyzing or extending the definitions to other fields of the scene Shadings: definition of the partition in rectangles and strings (for electrical shadings) now within the 3D field dialog. The field sizes and the number of modules are now defined simultaneously The fields should now be defined (preferably) according to the number of modules, in landscape or portrait. Shadings: completely reviewed the 3D fields definition dialogs.
