feedinlib.models.get_power_plant_data¶

feedinlib.models.get_power_plant_data(dataset, **kwargs)[source]¶

Function to retrieve power plant data sets provided by feed-in models.

This function can be used to retrieve power plant data from data sets and to get an overview of which modules, inverters and turbine types are provided and can be used in feed-in calculations.

Parameters:

dataset (str) –
Specifies data set to retrieve. Possible options are:
- pvlib PV module and inverter datasets: ‘sandiamod’, ‘cecinverter’
  The original data sets are hosted here: https://github.com/NREL/SAM/tree/develop/deploy/libraries
  
  See retrieve_sam for further information.
- windpowerlib wind turbine dataset: ‘oedb_turbine_library’
  See get_turbine_types for further information.
**kwargs – See referenced functions for each dataset above for further optional parameters.

Example

>>> from feedinlib import get_power_plant_data
>>> data = get_power_plant_data('sandiamod')
>>> # list of all provided PV modules
>>> pv_modules = data.columns
>>> print(data.loc["Area", data.columns.str.contains('Aleo_S03')])
