IrradianceNow
(read only)
This property returns the current irradiance value for the active PVSystem. Use it to know what's the current irradiance value for the PV during a simulation.
Example
% Create DSS object
DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')
if ~DSSObject.Start(0),
disp('Unable to start openDSS');
return
end;
DSSText = DSSObject.Text;
DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;
% Compile a model
DSSText.Command = 'Compile C:\myPath\myModel.dss';
% Handler for PVSystems interface
DSSPVSystems = DSSObject.PVSystems;
% Sets the first PV in the list active
i = DSSPVSystems.First;
% Gets the irradiance nominal value
myIrrad = DSSPVSystems.Irradiance;
% Gets the PV actual irradiance
myIrradNow = DSSPVSystems.IrradianceNow;
