Functions

load_pv_setup_from_meas_file(→ dict)

Load PV plant setup parameters from the measured data Excel file (in data/measured_PV)

Module Contents

simeasren.pv_simulation.load_pv_set_up.load_pv_setup_from_meas_file(location_name: str) → dict

Load PV plant setup parameters from the measured data Excel file (in data/measured_PV)

This function reads the “PV_plant_setup” sheet from the measured PV data Excel file for a given location and returns the contents as a dictionary, with the Excel sheet’s “Parameter” column as keys and the “Value” column as values.

Parameters:: location_name (str) – Name of the location/site corresponding to the Excel file (without extension), e.g., “Turin”. The function expects the file to exist in: ` data/measured_PV/{location_name}.xlsx `
Returns:: Dictionary containing PV plant setup parameters. Keys correspond to parameter names (from the “Parameter” column in Excel), and values are the corresponding setup values.
Return type:: dict
Raises:: FileNotFoundError – If the measured PV Excel file for the specified location does not exist.

Notes

The Excel sheet must be named “PV_plant_setup” with columns “Parameter” and “Value”.
Typical use includes retrieving metadata such as plant capacity, inverter specs, orientation, or other site-specific configuration values for plotting or modeling.
