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). <br>
