Mermoud/Lejeune module and inverter model documentation

Hi Neel,

For the Mermoud-Lejeune model, please see: github.com/NREL/ssc/issues/26.

For SAM inverter models, see the list of references at sam.nrel.gov/photovoltaic/pv-sub-page-2.html.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Neel,

For a little background, NREL PySAM is a Python wrapper that provides access to SSC. The SAM user interface also provides access to SSC. SSC is a collection of renewable energy performance and financial models that includes the "OND inverter" model in question. Its source code is here: github.com/NREL/ssc/blob/develop/shared/lib_ondinv.cpp. SAM does not provide access to the OND inverter model or Mermoud/Lejeune module model, but you can access them in SSC using the SDK or PySAM .

The OND inverter model was originally developed as part of PVsyst. The list of PVsyst references in its Help system is here: files.pvsyst.com/help/references.htm. There is also some documentation of PVsyst models on Sandia's PV Modeling Collaborative website: pvpmc.sandia.gov/.

You may want to explore the PVsyst documentation (linked above) for descriptions of the inverter inputs.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Anton,

I agree that documentation of those models would be useful. They are not NREL models, so we do not have access to any unpublished model details.

Best regards,
Paul.
