Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 94a- Module Area



You are welcome.
Usually, the manufacturers provide the number of cells in series. This parameter have to be set in the corresponding parameter window of Type 94.

Thanks.
That explains a lot, but from which parameter does it gain the number of cells?
I've downloaded couple of Photovoltaic panels catalogues, how can I extract the number of cells from them and where should I write them in trnsys?
Thank you very much for your time.

Dear Amir,
actually Trnsys does not use the module area to evaluate the electrical and thermal performance of a PV module.
It solves the electrical I-V characteristic cueve step by step for a module consisting of n cells known the electrical data of a PV cell (short circuit, open circuit and so on).
This because if it knows the electrical performance of a cell (Vmp and Imp) in reference conditions, the number of cells define the performance of the entire module.

Hi

I'm relatively new to trnsys and I'm trying to run a simulation with Type 94a but while doing that i faced something strange.

Its odd that if I change the "Module Area" nothing changes in final graph! even if I set it to zero.

Why is so? Whats the role and meaning of Module Area then?
