IVCurve

Description

The IVCurve module contains the IV curve of a energy harvester at the certain environmental condition (e.g., for solar panel this means a single IV-curve at a certain brightness). This module thus allows to incorporate the non-linear behavior of many harvesters into the simulation.

The IV-curves are stored in Harvesters/harvesting_data/IVCurves as .json-Files. To add new IV-Curves, see Tools/get_iv_curve_XXXX.py and the corresponding Readme.

Parameters

Parameter	man./opt.	Value	Description
file	m	Filename	Filename of .json-File that contains the IV curve data.
log	o	Boolean	Define whether logging is enabled (Default: False)

Example configuration(s)
