reV.hybrids.hybrid_methods.aggregate_solar_capacity

aggregate_solar_capacity(h)

Compute the total solar capcity allowed in hybridization.

Note

No limiting is done on the ratio of wind to solar. This method checks for an existing ‘hybrid_solar_capacity’. If one does not exist, it is assumed that there is no limit on the solar to wind capacity ratio and the solar capacity is copied into this new column.

Parameters:

h (reV.hybrids.Hybridization) – Instance of reV.hybrids.Hybridization class containing the attribute hybrid_meta, which is a DataFrame containing hybridized meta data.

Returns:

data (Series | None) – A series of data containing the capacity allowed in the hybrid capacity sum, or None if ‘hybrid_solar_capacity’ already exists.
