pvlib.forecast.NDFD¶

class pvlib.forecast.NDFD(set_type='best')[source]¶

Subclass of the ForecastModel class representing NDFD forecast model.

Model data corresponds to NWS CONUS CONDUIT forecasts.

Parameters:

set_type: string, default ‘best’: Type of model to pull data from.

Attributes:

dataframe_variables: list: Common variables present in the final set of data.
model: string: Name of the UNIDATA forecast model.
model_type: string: UNIDATA category in which the model is located.
variables: dict: Defines the variables to obtain from the weather model and how they should be renamed to common variable names.
units: dict: Dictionary containing the units of the standard variables and the model specific variables.

__init__(set_type='best')[source]¶: Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Methods

`__init__`([set_type])	Initialize self.
`cloud_cover_to_ghi_linear`(cloud_cover, ghi_clear)	Convert cloud cover to GHI using a linear relationship.

`rename`(data[, variables])	Renames the columns according the variable mapping.
`set_dataset`()	Retrieves the designated dataset, creates NCSS object, and creates a NCSS query object.
`set_location`(time, latitude, longitude)	Sets the location for the query.
`set_query_latlon`()	Sets the NCSS query location latitude and longitude.
`set_time`(time)	Converts time data into a pandas date object.
`uv_to_speed`(data)	Computes wind speed from wind components.
