A package for fundamental information of solar energy.
Project description
SolarEnergyPy
About SolarEnergyPy
SolarEnergyPy is for education purpose where one can have fundamental information of solar energy.
Basic Information
-
Solar constant.
-
Solar position relative to a site on Earth in terms of lattitude, longitude and datetime.
-
Instant solar radiation on outer edge of atmosphere as well as beam and diffusion on Earth.
-
Spectral radiation map.
Requirements
-
Python 3
-
Matplotlib is installed.
Documentation
To be continued.
Installation
pip install SolarEnergyPy
Usage
from datetime import datetime
import pendulum
from SolarEnergyPy.solarPosition import solarPosition as sp
from SolarEnergyPy.solarRadiation import solarRadiation as sr
def solar_system_demo(longitude, latitude, dt):
solar_position = sp(longitude, latitude)
solar_radiation = sr()
solar_position.clocktime = dt
solar_radiation.clocktime = dt
print(f"Solar Position:{sp.site}")
print(f"Date-Time: {solar_position._datetime}")
print(f"Latitude: {solar_position.latitude}")
print(f"Longitude: {solar_position.longitude}")
print(f"Declination: {solar_position.declination}")
print(f"Solar Azimuth: {solar_position.solar_azimuth}")
print(f"Solar Zenith: {solar_position.zenith}")
print("\nSolar Radiation:")
beam, diffuse = solar_radiation.solar_radiation_at()
print(f"Beam Radiation: {beam} W/m^2")
print(f"Diffuse Radiation: {diffuse} W/m^2")
if __name__ == '__main__':
longitude = 112
latitude = 31
dt = pendulum.now('Asia/Shanghai')
solar_system_demo(longitude, latitude, dt)
