The Type194 "mode" parameter (parameter 1) is set to 1, which
indicates a PV without an inverter. It should be set to 2 for a PV
with an inverter. The proforma's "more" button had an error in
Trnsys16 (fixed with Trnsys17) that said that mode 2 was not
implemented when in fact it was. You should be able to do an
"Edit:Replace" on your PV using the Type194b proforma and get that
mode parameter changed to 2.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm using the example PV file to simulate
an array with 288 Sharp NE170U1 panels. I've taken the
example file, input the module parameters into the EES which
seemed to run okay, but I get an error after the EES runs (I
multiplied the Temp Coefficient of Isc by the short circuit
current to reflect units requested in the EES). The EES
updates the Type parameters with the calculation results.
I've updated the module area, # series (12), # parallel (4),
for a total of 48 modules per inverter in both the Type and
the example's Parameters equation. I've input the inverter
performances curves into a txt file, following the format
provided in the type reference. Upon running, the PV type
(194) reports that it's expecting 24 parameters while 29 are
specified, as if there's 24 Parameters in the pro-forma, yet
there are 29. I'm currently using TRNSYS 16. Any pointers
would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
