[TRNSYS-users] PV module

[David BRADLEY]

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
