November 21st, 2023 NEW Scenario Analysis User Interface has been added to Design Pro PlantPredict Pro subscribers who use Design Pro will notice a major change in our Simulation workflow that will make understanding the DC and AC Capacity of your project site easier and streamline your optimization process. In Design Pro, each distinct layout is referred to as a scenario. Scenarios are part of a simulation, which can run between 1 and 50 scenarios simultaneously. After the simulation has completed running, each scenario will have unique results including; layout, yield, earthwork assessment, EPC cost, and simple LCOE. The Scenario Analysis page below serves as the epicenter for creating and adding scenarios to a simulation. It includes design inputs, the GCR/Capacity visualization, and the scenario tray

The scenario analysis workflow is simple and powerful. As design inputs are entered the GCR/Capacity visualization in the scenario analysis updates dynamically. When satisfied with the inputs, add the scenario to the simulation. You can learn more about this exciting enhancement by reading about it in our Design Pro User Manual: CREATING LAYOUTS WITH SCENARIO ANALYSIS   Design Pro AC Clustering Logic has been improved When clustering the tables into AC Block, we are not running any algorithm to determine the number of tables or strings per AC Block. For every table we know its MWdc rating, we will cluster tables together until: SUM(MWdc_table1, MWdctable2,…,MWdctablei) /MWac_inverter >=DC/AC Ratio. At this point we will move to the next available table and start the clustering process all over again. The AC clustering will happen with the same snake logic we already know. Staring from the quadrant where the substation is. This logic should apply to every buildable area.   ProjectID and PredictionID have been added to the Nodal Data Files We have added some additional meta-data at the top of Nodal Data Files. This information is also included in the API results for both the .CSV and .JSON nodal outputs

Minor Bug Fixes and Enhancements
  • Module tilt angle textbox can be edited typing after clicking the arrows up or down.
  • Road units in comparison should be m^2 not acres.
  • BoQ Naming Conventions - MV transformer unit is M2, should beach Each
