Description
We have developed a method for determining parameter values for the PVsyst single diode model using IEC 61853-1 matrix measurements. The method produces useful fits on a range of IEC 61853 datasets without resorting to numerical optimization. A journal article describing the method is nearing readiness for submission. Once that manuscript is submitted, we plan to submit a PR to add the method to pvlib.
We already have pvlib.ivtools.sdm.fit_pvsyst_sandia
, which calculates SDM parameters based on I-V curves. Perhaps new functions along these lines should encode the data source in their name, so this function could be called fit_pvsyst_iec61853_sandia
or similar.
Note that such a method does not constitute a "PAN file generator" as it addresses only the electrical portion of a PAN file.
