Displaying current calculated PV output power #19

Closed sschusser closed 7 months ago

sschusser commented 8 months ago

For those who are interested in using this app to forecast the output for an old fashioned PV system without a build in forecast: In order to set and proof the parameters for calculation properly, it is of interest to compare the actual output power of the PV system with the calculated output power. Hence I am asking whether it is possible to show the calculated expected output power value somewhere in the GUI. Not only the integrated value in terms of Wh for the upcoming hour.

if you have 200Wh the average power is 200W during that hour

sschusser commented 8 months ago

If it is that easy, I can do this simple calculation. So, just one data point per hour? I was expecting a better temporal resolution and, thus, the total amount of energy displayed on the frontend to be an average value calculated by some fancier routines: Integration over time axis.

Many thanks for the reply.

Open-Meteo already delivers cumulated values for each hour

sschusser commented 8 months ago

I am getting confused about the actual situation.

if the displayed energy value for each hour is already summed up over several values, I am not able to calculate the current expected power by just dividing the energy value by the time delta of one hour. This just gives a mean value for this time period.

That is why I was asking for displaying the current expected power.

Best regards

exactly, as I said you get the average power in that hour
