| A Performance Calculator For Grid-Connected Pv Systems V2: / (added 09/2005) |
| Bioconversion References: Instead of being restricted to 239 city locations, Version 2 allows the user to select
a specific location (based on a 40 km grid cell) by using NREL's Internet Map Server (IMS) at http://www.nrel.gov/gis. Because PVWATTS Version 2 uses additional input data, the
results may differ slightly from those for PVWATTS Version 1. Version 2 can be run only for the 48 contiguous states, Alaska and Hawaii. The use of the Internet Map Server increases
the complexity of PVWATTS, but provides additional information for locations. |
|
Btu Calculator: Version 1 is the original PVWATTS. The user chooses a state from a map or a text list, and then
the city of interest. The calculations may be done using the default system parameters, or the user may specify the PV system size, local electric costs, whether a fixed or tracking
PV array, and the PV array tilt and azimuth angles. PVWATTS calculates monthly and annual energy production in kWh and monthly savings in dollars. The user may also choose to output
hourly AC power data, which can saved to a text file. Version 1 can be run for Guam or Puerto Rico as well as the 50 states. |
