+Clipping Detection

+
+Identifying clipping periods using the PVAnalytics clipping module.
+"""
+
+# %%
+# Identifying and removing clipping periods from AC power time series
+# data aids in generating more accurate degradation analysis results,
+# as using clipped data can lead to under-predicting degradation. In this
+# example, we show how to use
+# :py:func:`pvanalytics.features.clipping.geometric`
+# to mask clipping periods in an AC power time series. We use a
+# normalized time series example provided by the PV Fleets Initiative,
+# where clipping periods are labeled as True, and non-clipping periods are
+# labeled as False. This example is adapted from the DuraMAT DataHub
+# clipping data set:
+# https://datahub.duramat.org/dataset/inverter-clipping-ml-training-set-real-data

+import pvanalytics
+from pvanalytics.features.clipping import geometric

+# First, read in the ac_power_inv_7539 example, and visualize a subset of the
+# clipping periods via the "label" mask column.

+data['label'] = data['label'].astype(bool)
+# This is the known frequency of the time series. You may need to infer
+# the frequency or set the frequency with your AC power time series.
+freq = "15T"

+plt.tight_layout()
