solaR 0.25 ========== * New SIAR dataset (with RedEstaciones now deprecated) solaR 0.24 ========== * The url of http://www.mapa.es/siar has been changed to http://www.marm.es/siar. The readMAPA function has been fixed. Moreover, this function has been renamed to readSIAR, although it is still available as readMAPA. * The arguments prom, mapa, bd and bdI of calcG0, calcGef, prodGCPV and prodPVPS have been unified in the new dataRad. Those arguments are now deprecated although still available. * The mode modeRad='mapa' is now deprecated and renamed to modeRad='siar'. solaR 0.23 ========== *A bug in fInclin when horizBright=FALSE has been corrected. See help(calcGef). *Four sun-geometry methods are now available in fSolD, fSolI, calcSol. *ThzS, AlS and AzS are not set to NA outside sunrise-sunset period (suggested by Joerg Trentmann) *fInclin and calcGef gain a new argument, HCPV (suggested by Álvaro Segovia) *A bug in fSolI and fTheta when lat=0 has been corrected (suggested by Alberto Soria) *h2d and d2h small functions added. *Small fix in fCompI. solaR 0.22 ========== * The calculation of the sunset time has been improved. * The voltage dependency of the efficiency curve of the inverter is now included in fProd and calcGCPV. * The default values of the module, generator and inverter of both fProd, calcGCPV and optimShd are now documented. * The help page of optimShd now explains correctly the concept of GRR. * The plot method for Shade has been renamed to shadeplot. * The as.data.frame method of the Shade class is now exported. * The example included in the Target diagram help page now includes a graphic using the function horizonplot of latticeExtra. * Several bugs have been corrected. solaR 0.21 ========== solaR is now able to calculate from both daily and sub-daily irradiation values. These are the most important changes: * calcSol and fSolI gain a "BTi" argument for intradaily time bases. * fCompI gains a "G0I" argument for intradaily irradiation series. * fCompI gains both "corr" and "f" arguments. * calcG0, calcGef, prodGCPV and prodPVPS gain a new "bdI" argument for intradaily irradiation, and the "corr", "f" arguments. * The "bd" (and the new "bdI") argument of "calcG0" can be now a "Meteo" object. The "file" component of this argument can be now a "zoo" object. * New methods ("losses", "compareLosses" and "compare") are available for "Gef" and "ProdGCPV" classes. * The "corr" argument of "fCompD" (and "fCompI") can be now "corr=none". * The correlations between the diffuse fraction and the clearness index are now coded outside "fCompD" as separate functions. Several new correlations have been included, both for monthly/daily values and for intradaily values. * New small functions for difftime objects have been included. * Small bugs have been fixed. ------------ solaR 0.20 ========== * The package is now almost entirely designed with S4 classes and methods. * The time series object are constructed with the 'zoo' package. * Most of the functions and arguments have been renamed in order to ease the understanding by international users. * Two new functions have been included for the statistical analysis of a PV plant composed of several systems. * The package dependencies have been optimized. * Several new small functions for date-time calculations are now available. * Several bugs have been corrected.
