1.0.0b6 (June 2, 2020)

This is the sixth 1.0 beta release.

Highlights include:

  • support for automated reference persistence forecasts
  • reports can now be rendered to PDF
  • added reference data from NREL PVDAQ
  • adjusted quality check thresholds and added new daytime flags

See below for the full list of changes.

API Changes

  • Added support for week-ahead persistence forecasts with :pysolarforecastarbiter.utils.get_data_start_end and :pysolarforecastarbiter.main.run_persistence modifications. (55) (392)
  • :pysolarforecastarbiter.pvmodel.calculate_power and :pysolarforecastarbiter.datamodel.Site expect a temperature_coefficient with units of % of DC capacity/C instead of 1/C (350) (433)
  • Add :pysolarforecastarbiter.io.utils.mock_raw_report_endpoints to mock report API endpoints used, primarily to test report serialization (441)
  • Change default :pysolarforecastarbiter.validation.validator.detect_stale_values and :pysolarforecastarbiter.validation.validator.detect_interpolated_values window value from 3 to 6. (124)
  • :pysolarforecastarbiter.io.reference_data.common.create_forecasts now calls :pysolarforecastarbiter.io.reference_data.common.create_persistence_forecasts and :pysolarforecastarbiter.io.reference_data.common.create_nwp_forecasts which create the Forecast objects from persistence and NWP templates, respectively. (375) (455)
  • Added :pysolarforecastarbiter.reference_forecasts.main.make_latest_persistence_forecasts to support periodic generation of persistence reference forecasts. (375) (455)

Enhancements

  • Reference net load forecasts provided using week-ahead persistence. (55) (392)
  • Datamodel now supports 'net_load' as an allowed variable. (55) (392)
  • Posting of daily validation now splits requests to avoid missing periods and limit each request to one week of data (424) (435)
  • PDF report figures are generated instead of SVG for easy integration into PDF reports (360) (437)
  • Added support for NREL PVDAQ sites to the reference database functions. (397) (438)
  • Refactor :pysolarforecastarbiter.metrics.calculator to accept and calculate for individual ProbabilisticForecast (CDFs) and ProbabilisticForecastConstantValue (single values). (445) partially (425)
  • Reports can now be rendered into PDF files via pdflatex (319) (439)
  • Report generation via the CLI can now run through mock API endpoints to test report serialization (405) (441)
  • Add derived quality flag masks to :pysolarforecastarbiter.validation.quality_mapping.convert_mask_into_dataframe output. These currently include 'DAYTIME', 'DAYTIME STALE VALUES', 'DAYTIME INTERPOLATED VALUES'. (124)
  • A public Docker image is available, and Github Actions use this image for continuous integration tests (446)
  • Add LIMITS EXCEEDED quality checks for AC and DC power, including :pysolarforecastarbiter.validation.validator.check_ac_power_limits and :pysolarforecastarbiter.validation.validator.check_dc_power_limits functions. (452) (458)
  • Adjusted University of Oregon Solar Radiation Measurment Laboratory (UO SRML) to include available PV power data. (442)

Bug fixes

  • Fix incorrect ordering of months and weekdays in metrics plots. (428) (430)
  • Ensure data is sorted from reference data sources before slicing and posting to the API (435)
  • Fix bug with metrics.preprocessing for CDF ProbabilisticForecast reference forecasts. (445)
  • Remove UO SMRL sites from reference dataset that have not reported recent data. (436) (442)
  • Fixed timezones for DOE RTC sites (469)
