From Dr. Mark Alexander Mikofski PhD@mikofski@berkeley.edu to comp.lang.python.announce on Sun Feb 5 21:10:15 2023

From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

Dear Pythonistas and solar power enthusiasts,

The maintainers are happy to announce a new release of pvlib python:
software for simulating performance of photovoltaic solar energy systems.

*See what's new for v0.9.4:*
** *https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew.html

*Releases are available from PyPI and the conda-forge channel:*
* https://pypi.org/project/pvlib/
* https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pvlib and https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pvlib-python

*Read the Documentation:*
* https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

*Report issues & contribute:*
* https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python

*v0.9.4 Highlights:*
* Fitting <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pv_modeling/generated/pvlib.pvarray.fit_pvefficiency_adr.html#pvlib.pvarray.fit_pvefficiency_adr>
and prediction <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pv_modeling/generated/pvlib.pvarray.pvefficiency_adr.html#pvlib.pvarray.pvefficiency_adr>
functions
for the ADR PV efficiency model, along with several gallery examples <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/gallery/index.html#adr-model-for-pv-module-efficiency>
.
* An extension of the Faiman temperature model <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.temperature.faiman_rad.html#pvlib.temperature.faiman_rad>
that
includes a radiative loss term.
* Efficient direct <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.iam.schlick.html#pvlib.iam.schlick>
and diffuse <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.iam.schlick_diffuse.html#pvlib.iam.schlick_diffuse>
IAM
models based on the Schlick approximation to the Fresnel equations.
* A convenience function <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.irradiance.complete_irradiance.html#pvlib.irradiance.complete_irradiance>
to
calculate one of DNI, DHI, GHI from the other two.
* The Hay-Davies <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.irradiance.haydavies.html#pvlib.irradiance.haydavies>
transposition
model can now return individual components in addition to global tilted irradiance.
* An implementation of ASTM E1036 <https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/generated/pvlib.ivtools.utils.astm_e1036.html#pvlib.ivtools.utils.astm_e1036>
for
extracting the basic characteristics of an I-V curve.
* There were several new contributors.

*Thank you for using pvlib python!*
