Youcef, Normally, an electric grid is treated as an infinite source/sink of power because the amount of power that is contributed by the PV is negligible in comparison to the power of the grid. In small scale applications, I would recommend that you use Type188 (AC bus bar). The component is a very simple energy balance of power sources and power loads and it assumes that the devices on the grid are all voltage regulated. The actual voltage and frequency of the grid doesn't really matter in this case because the size of the TRNSYS time step is very large in comparison to the time constant of the grid. TRNSYS time steps are on the order of 1 to 5 minutes so the AC grid just looks like a steady state process. Regards, David On 5/5/2013 07:10, youcef benmoulai
