The Array nodal data provides timestep results for the array level, which aggregates inverter outputs and applies AC collection losses, auxiliary loads, degradation, and transformer losses. Arrays represent a grouping of inverters that share common AC infrastructure.

Description of Nodal Data Parameters

ParameterUnitsDescription
Timestampyyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssDate and time for the calculation timestep
AC Collection LossWPower loss in the medium-voltage collection system between the array MV transformer output and the plant-level HV equipment
Data Acquisition System LossWAuxiliary power consumption for data acquisition and monitoring equipment at the array level
Shelter Cooling LossWAuxiliary power consumption for inverter shelter or enclosure cooling systems
AC Power OutputWAC power output from the array after AC collection system losses
Tracker Motor LossWAuxiliary power consumption for tracker motor operation, aggregated for all trackers in the array
Total AC Power from InvertersWSum of AC power output from all inverters in the array before auxiliary losses and degradation
DegradationDegradation coefficient applied to the array power output, representing cumulative module degradation over time
AC Power After DegradationWArray AC power after applying the degradation coefficient to the total inverter power output
AC Power Into TransformerWAC power entering the array-level MV transformer, after auxiliary losses and degradation
Transformer LossesWPower losses in the array-level MV transformer, including no-load and load-dependent losses
Transformer Output PowerWAC power output from the array MV transformer, available for aggregation to block level
