Description
problem
As an energy analyst, I need to know energy at point of interconnect, and that includes detailed transformer efficiency and losses, as well as ac collection losses and curtailment
solution
A transformer load / no-load model
alternatives
Roll your own, but then this risks everyone using slightly different, possibly flawed models, precisely one of the issues pvlib tries to solve
Additional context
- Related to pvsyst_system_losses #1020 and maybe Energy Production Modeling and Provenance #96
- a reverse model would be useful for battery storage
- copy or use pysam?
