SolidState Posted October 20, 2020 Report Posted October 20, 2020 Hello, I am a new user with this software and I am currently working on a project that is strictly DC loads. Is it possible to run a simulation without having a AC inverter? Thanks, Rick Quote
developer_mh Posted October 23, 2020 Report Posted October 23, 2020 Hi Rick, there is no out-of-the-box solution for designing DC-only systems in PV*SOL right now, I am afraid. One possible solution would be to interpret the AC mains as your DC bus, set the voltage to your DC voltage (12 or 24 or 48 V or so), and interpret the PV inverters as DC/DC converters. It will work, and energetically the errors that you'll make are small. It is not the nicest solution, I know, but it will work. If you are not connected to the grid, you will have to choose a stand-alone (offgrid) system type in PV*SOL: https://help.valentin-software.com/pvsol/2020/pages/system-type-climate-and-grid/ Hope that helps, kind regards, Martin Quote
