pvanalytics.quality.irradiance.clearsky_limits#
- pvanalytics.quality.irradiance.clearsky_limits(measured, clearsky, csi_max=1.1)#
Identify irradiance values which do not exceed clearsky values.
Uses
pvlib.irradiance.clearsky_index()to compute the clearsky index as the ratio of measured to clearsky. Compares the clearsky index to csi_max to identify values in measured that are less than or equal to csi_max.- Parameters
measured (Series) – Measured irradiance in \(W/m^2\).
clearsky (Series) – Expected clearsky irradiance in \(W/m^2\).
csi_max (float, default 1.1) – Maximum ratio of measured to clearsky (clearsky index).
- Returns
True for each value where the clearsky index is less than or equal to csi_max.
- Return type
Series
