Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type 94, maximum power



David,

  I am not sure which version of Trnsys you are using. However, Type94 was found to have some problems like the one you describe that were addressed with the release of Trnsys18 and Type103 (a replacement for Type94).

kind regards,

 David

Dear TRNSYS USERS,

 

I am trying to understand the performance of Type 94 (Photovoltaic module).

I kept the default parameters, in particular: Current at maximum power point = 5.9 A, and Voltage at maximum power point = 17 V.

Then I forced the total radiation on the surface to be the reference insolation  (1000 W/m2) and the ambient temperature to be the reference temperature (298 K).

Under these conditions I expected to obtain that the module power output was 17x5.9 = 100.3 W, but I have only got 80.2 W.

Which is the reason for this difference?

How can I simulate that the module is operating at its maximum point?

 

Thanks in advance,

Regards.

 

David.
