Re: [TRNSYS-users] PV module



Cory,
  The PV models in TRNSYS (Types 94, 180, and 194) are a little odd in that they output both a "power at max power point" and a "power at load voltage." Its a bit like modeling two pvs at once since the outputs are completely separate from one another. In most grid-connected applications, you would use the power at max power point because the PV would be connected to the grid through an inverter/max power point tracking device that makes the PV "see" the best possible load. You use the "power at load voltage" in direct connected or all-DC systems where the PV is directly connected to a load that is operating at a particular voltage (for example if you have a PV connected directly to a pump, the load voltage would be the pump voltage).
Best,
 David

Does anyone know what the load voltage for one of the pv modules would be if it was tied into the grid from a residence?
