modelInductiveLoad

Partial model of an inductive load

Extends from Load.

Information

This is a model of a generic inductive load. This model is an extension of the base load model IDEAS.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))

  • April 4, 2024, by Michael Wetter:
    Reformulated calculation of reactive power to bound argument of tangent away from π, which avoids an infinite function value.
    This is for Buildings, #3776.
