Code and dataset for "Comprehensive VIPV Energy Yield and MPPT Evaluation under Realistic Dynamic Shading in Urban Environments"

The required files to reach the results found on the paper are classified into the following types: Raw data: "Archivos completos": it includes the necessary files to generate the I-V curves of the full routes. "Tramos A y B normalizados": it includes the necessary files to generate the I-V curves of the A and B stretches. Processed data: "Archivos completos": it includes the necessary files to generate the MPPT results. It is organized in folders, according to the route. The suffix "tct" or "serie" indicates the module connection of the full route simulation. "Simulación MPPT": it includes the results of applying a P&O and a Fixed Voltage MPPT approach. Free files: maximum power, irradiance, temperature, maximum power voltage, open circuit voltage and collection of I-V curves on each simulation. "tramos A y B normalizados": it includes the necessary files to generate the MPPT results. It is organized in folders, according to the route. The suffix "tct" or "serie" indicates the module connection of the stretches A and B simulation. Run: "archivos completos": This folders contains all the files, scripts and data to generate the results for the full routes. generate_table_IV_v4_real_speed_values.py: it uses the coordinates, shadow files and config files as an input to produce the majority of the simulation results. The main files produced are the .tbl file, which contains the I-V curves, and the pmp.csv file, which contains the maximum power of each I-V curve in the simulation. analisis_MPPT.py. It uses the maximum power point and the I-V curves files as an input to simulate the behaviour of different MPPT strategies. PSD_analisis_fft_original.py: it makes the Power Spectral Density analysis of power on all 5 routes. read_results.py: generates most of the graphs found in the paper using the previous files as an input. "Tramos A y B rutas normalizadas": This folders contains all the files, scripts and data to generate the results for the full routes. generate_table_IV_v3_normalized_stretches.py: it uses the coordinates, shadow files and config files as an input to produce the majority of the simulation results. The main files produced are the .tbl file, which contains the I-V curves, and the pmp.csv file, which contains the maximum power of each I-V curve in the simulation. This can only be used for the stretches. analisis_MPPT.py. It uses the maximum power point and the I-V curves files as an input to simulate the behaviour of different MPPT strategies. read_normalized_results.py: generates the graphs related to the stretches found on the paper.
