Pump data: detailed parameter

These are a complementary set of parameters.

Electric side

  • Motor type: reminder of the choice from the previous sheet.
  • MPPT or DC Converter (if any): requests the model name (informative only; this does not refer to a device in the database).
  • Nominal Voltage: reminder from the previous sheet. With DC converter: input voltage. In other cases: the most relevant operating voltage, often mentioned in the datasheets, even when voltage characteristics are not provided. |

Other variables depend on the configuration:

  • Min/Max MPPT Voltage: the voltage range for MPPT converter.
  • Abs. Max Voltage, Abs. Max Current, Abs. Max Power: absolute maximum ratings at the input of the device (pump or converter), which must never be exceeded during the simulation. Corresponding protections should be specified in the Control Unit (both in the simulation and in reality).
  • Maximum and Euro-efficiencies, from which an efficiency profile will be constructed.

Hydraulic side

Choice of the Data Set available in the data sheets.

This will determine the model-type used by PVsyst for simulating the pump behaviour, and makes available the corresponding sheet(s) for input of the data.
