How to add fixed structure for Single Axis Tracking Hourly?

Open Origin-Zhang opened this issue 8 months ago • 3 comments

Now, I discovered that I can add rotating structures (such as turquetube, frame and omega) to the PV modules in single axis tracking hourly, these structures and PV modules together form a 'rad' scene file. If the simulation is performed for 8760 hours a year, 8760 'rad' scene files will be generated. Then I want to add fixed structures (such as posts) to 8760 scenes. It seems that I can only manually add fixed structures to each scene 'rad' file separately (such as using a for loop to perform 8760 operations), which can be used directly in the software package. Does the API interface meet this requirement? I haven't found the API yet.

In addition, I also want to know how to sample multiple PV modules at the same time in one simulation. The analysis module seems to only be able to select specified PV modules in a specific row. In this way, if I want to achieve sampling of a row of PV modules (for example, Tutorial 16), it seems that I can only use Run the simulation multiple times. The simplified way I can think of at present is to set up an ultra-long PV module, divide the cells inside the module, and use the cells as components to achieve rough sampling of the irradiance distribution of a row in one simulation.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your great work!
