Information

1. Purpose of model

Simple PV Inverter model for calculating the AC active and reactive power output.

2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight

L1E (defined in the CodingConventions) - This model considers the efficiency of the converter as constant quotient P_AC/P_DC, the power factor and the percentage of PV peak power at which power is cut.

3. Limits of validity
