modelCapacitiveLoad

Partial model of a capacitive load

Extends from Load.

Information

This is a model of a generic capacitive load. This model is an extension of the base load model BuildingSystems.Electrical.Interfaces.Load.

This model assumes a fixed power factor pf when the flag use_pf_in = false otherwise it uses the power factor specified by the input pf_in.

The power factor (either the input or the parameter) is used to compute the reactive power Q given the active power P

Q = - P * tan(arccos(pf))
