Include poles in PV configuration
Summary
Implement adding vertical poles to the PV geometry to simulate agrivoltaic fences.
Current behavior
No mounting structure yet (except when importing .obj files).
Desired behavior
In configuration.py :
-
Class diagram proposal: see design below (pv_structure.png) -
Create a yaml input configuration file under INPUTS/HARDWARE/STRUCTURES/ : INPUTS/HARDWARE/STRUCTURES/structure.yaml. In the file, specify : -
number of poles/groups
-
spacing between the poles
-
spacing between horizontal bars
-
poles height
-
section shape (square)
-
section size (square side)
-
@abouvry Rotation of the panels around the top edge (use the "center" parameter of method MODULES.PHOTOVOLTAICS.configuration.PV_Configuration_3D.rotation_1st_axis() ).
