It looks like there is already a plan to add a floating.py
module (as mentioned in #1937).
My GSoC is completed, thus this issue is closed. Thanks to everyone for their assistance!
Thanks @IoannisSifnaios for the great contributions!
This issue gives an overview of the plan and progress of my GSoC project.
The title of my project is "Floating Solar - Enabling modeling of floating PV with pvlib", where I will be adding floating PV temperature models in the pvlib python’s library. The official project description can be found here, and my mentors during this project will be @AdamRJensen and @kandersolar. My detailed plan is the following:
Calculation of ambient parameters for floating PV:
Albedo for water bodies (non-ocean) as described here
Water temperature for floating PV as described here
Wind speed at module height
Module temperature for floating PV:
Gallery example of the expansion of the Faiman expression for floating PV (using the methodologies from here and here)
Addition of the Lindholm model (described here)
Maintenance work:
2111
2109
2080
As the project develops, I plan to link these tasks to individual issues and pull requests.
Please don't hesitate to give any feedback! Since this is the first time I am contributing to pvlib (or any other open-source software, tbh), I am really looking forward to learning as much as possible from all of you!
