Used Inputs Result

The UsedInputsResult provides a complete record of all input parameters that were used in the uncertainty simulation, ensuring full traceability and reproducibility of results.

Purpose and Structure

This result component contains the exact parameter values used during simulation execution, including:

• Module: Physical and electrical module characteristics
• System: Installation layout and configuration
• Electrical: Power conversion and loss parameters
• Optical: Irradiance processing and optical factors
• Thermal: Heat transfer coefficients
• Operation: Performance factors and degradation
• SimulationOptions: Monte Carlo execution parameters
• ResultOptions: Statistical calculation settings

Parameter Categories

Each category contains the specific values used during simulation, which may differ from requested values due to:

• Default value application for unspecified parameters
• Validation and range limiting of input values
• Unit conversions (e.g., radians to degrees)
• Fallback value substitution when data is unavailable

Traceability Benefits

The UsedInputsResult enables:

• Validation: Confirm all parameters were applied correctly
• Reproducibility: Re-run simulations with identical parameters
• Quality Assurance: Verify parameter values meet expectations
• Documentation: Complete record for reporting and compliance
