A battery or inverter failure limits PV to local demand for days. The calibration read that as the plant's true output and learned it as a permanent model loss, so one outage degraded the forecast long after the hardware was fixed. Calibration now estimates the healthy plant ratio over `calibration_reference_days`, excludes days below `calibration_outage_threshold` of it, and falls back to the most recent `calibration_min_healthy_days` when the normal window is contaminated. `calibration_outage_filter_enabled` turns this off for plants where measured curtailment, not available potential, is the prediction target. The fit also uses native 15-minute meter readings when every configured PV meter supplies them - never interpolating hourly counters into an invented quarter-hour profile - interpolates azimuth factors smoothly between bin centres instead of stepping the EMS input curve, and normalizes the shape per forecast day so it redistributes energy without changing that day's kWh correction. The default azimuth bin widens from 15 to 45 degrees, which is what a typical window actually supports. Fixes the calibration window itself: it was derived from the measurement store as a whole rather than from the configured PV production meters. A load meter reaching further than the PV meter placed the window where no PV reading exists, so calibration silently fell back to hourly fitting or skipped itself. Also fixes `Measurement.load()`, which discarded every stored record. It validated the file into a "temporary" Measurement, but Measurement is a singleton, so that instance was the live one and the parsed records were dropped.

Common settings for the local (pvlib) PV forecast provider
:::{table} pvforecast::provider_settings::PVForecastAkkudoktorLocal :widths: 10 10 5 5 30 :align: left
| Name | Type | Read-Only | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| albedo | float |
rw |
0.25 |
Ground albedo used for planes that do not set their own. |
| apply_iam | bool |
rw |
True |
Apply the ASHRAE incidence-angle modifier to the beam component. |
| calibration_azimuth_bin_degrees | int |
rw |
45 |
Width of the solar-azimuth bins for the correction. 0 fits a single global factor only. |
| calibration_days | int |
rw |
30 |
Length of the measurement window used to fit the correction. |
| calibration_enabled | bool |
rw |
False |
Correct systematic model error against measured PV production. Requires measurement.pv_production_emr_keys to be configured and fed. Fits a global scale factor plus per-solar-azimuth factors, which is what catches near-field shading the horizon profile misses. |
| calibration_max_factor | float |
rw |
1.5 |
Upper clamp on any fitted correction factor. |
| calibration_min_factor | float |
rw |
0.5 |
Lower clamp on any fitted correction factor. |
| calibration_min_healthy_days | int |
rw |
3 |
Minimum number of healthy days used for a fit. Older healthy days from the reference window are added when the recent window contains fewer. |
| calibration_outage_filter_enabled | bool |
rw |
True |
Exclude days whose measured production is far below the recent healthy plant level. This prevents inverter, battery and curtailment events from being learned as permanent PV model losses. |
| calibration_outage_threshold | float |
rw |
0.55 |
A day is treated as unavailable when its measured/modelled energy ratio is below this fraction of the robust healthy reference ratio. |
| calibration_prior_kwh | float |
rw |
5.0 |
Shrinkage strength: a bin needs this much modelled energy before its own factor outweighs the global one. Higher is more conservative. |
| calibration_reference_days | int |
rw |
30 |
Lookback used to distinguish healthy production from outages or curtailment. If the calibration window contains too few healthy days, the most recent healthy days from this reference window are used. |
| forecast_days | Optional[int] |
rw |
None |
Forecast horizon in days (1-16). Leave empty to derive it from prediction.hours, which is what keeps the optimizer's tail horizon fed. |
| inverter_efficiency | float |
rw |
0.96 |
Nominal inverter efficiency (PVWatts eta_inv_nom). |
| past_days | Optional[int] |
rw |
None |
Days of past data to request (0-92). Leave empty to derive it from prediction.historic_hours. |
| resolution_minutes | int |
rw |
15 |
Forecast resolution in minutes. 15 requests Open-Meteo's minutely_15 block (natively resolved over Central Europe and North America, interpolated from hourly elsewhere); 60 requests the hourly block. |
| shift_to_interval_start | bool |
rw |
True |
Open-Meteo stamps an interval mean with the interval END. EOS labels an interval by its START, so records are shifted back by one interval. Disable only to compare like-for-like against a provider that does not. |
| temperature_coefficient | float |
rw |
-0.36 |
Module power temperature coefficient in %/degC (negative). Matches the cellCoEff the akkudoktor.net forecast uses. |
| transposition_model | str |
rw |
perez |
pvlib sky-diffuse transposition model: isotropic, klucher, haydavies, reindl, king or perez. |
| weather_models | list[str] |
rw |
['best_match'] |
Open-Meteo weather models to request. Listing more than one turns the input into a poor-man's ensemble: the members are averaged per variable, which is the cheapest reliable way to cut irradiance forecast error. Costs no extra API calls. |
