PVSYST 4.37
is a PC software package for the study, sizing, simulation and data analysis of complete PV systems.
It is suitable for grid-connected, stand-alone, pumping and DC-grid (public transport) systems, and offers an extensive
meteorological and PV-components database.
This software is oriented towards architects, engineers,
and researchers, and holds very helpful tools for education. It includes
an extensive contextual Help, which explains in detail the procedures
and the models used.
Treatment of Pumping systems, with the development
of an original pump model, is a quite new feature since version
4.0.
PVSYST 4.37 offers an ergonomic approach, with a "greenline" guide,
and several project levels:

|
Preliminary
design, easy and fast tool,
allowing for grid, stand-alone or pumping system pre-sizing. Upon
user's requirements like energy/water needs and "Loss of load" probability,
and very few other input parameters, this provides the PV-system component
sizes, evaluates the monthly production and performances, and performs
a preliminary economic evaluation of the PV system.
Project design
part, performing detailed simulation in hourly values, including an
easy-to-use expert system, which helps the user to define the PV-field
and to choose the right components.This produces a complete printable
Report with all parameter and main results.
Tools
performs the database meteo and components management. It provides also a wide choice
of general solar tools (solar geometry, meteo on tilted planes, etc), as well as a powerful mean of importing real data
measured on existing PV systems for close comparisons with simulated values. |
