- pvlib.singlediode.batzelis(photocurrent, saturation_current, resistance_series, resistance_shunt, nNsVth)[source]#
Estimate maximum power, open-circuit, and short-circuit points from single-diode equation parameters using Batzelis’s method.
This method is described in Section II.B of [1].
- Parameters:
photocurrent (numeric) – Light-generated current. [A]
saturation_current (numeric) – Diode saturation current. [A]
resistance_series (numeric) – Series resistance. [Ohm]
resistance_shunt (numeric) – Shunt resistance. [Ohm]
nNsVth (numeric) – The product of the usual diode ideality factor (n, unitless), number of cells in series (Ns), and cell thermal voltage at specified effective irradiance and cell temperature. [V]
- Returns:
dict – The returned dict-like object contains the keys/columns:
p_mp- power at maximum power point. [W]i_mp- current at maximum power point. [A]v_mp- voltage at maximum power point. [V]i_sc- short circuit current. [A]v_oc- open circuit voltage. [V]
