User's manual for PVFORM: A photovoltaic system simulation program for stand-alone and grid-interactive applications.

摘要

Sandia National Laboratories has integrated improved photovoltaic (PV) system modelling techniques into a simplified program named PVFORM. The new model simulates hourly performance for a one-year period and is applicable to a grid-interactive or stand-alone PV flat-plate system. The program can be run on mainframe or personal computers. This manual describes how to operate the PVFORM program, with detailed examples of the required inputs. Sample outputs are also included and discussed. 8 refs.
