<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
I've had a go at assembling some components in the simulation studio the attached project file shows roughly what I'm trying to do (I hope!).<BR>
Questions<BR>
1) Would it be better to use the combined PV inverter model or have separate PV and Inverters?<BR>
2) As my actual system uses 4 inverters how can I make them common with the main power conditioning unit? I can't link these in the simulation studio. In the real system this controls whether we use power from the PV array, battery array, mains or diesel generator.<BR>
<BR>
Any input appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>

Hi David,<BR>
<BR>
If you're working with PV inverters you might find this database of inverter<BR>
parameters useful:<BR>
