Total losses - Seperate DC and AC cable losses

[Ajay Deepak]

Hi,

My cable loss calculation value is different than PVSOL calculation, so I can't use the Detailed section to mention the losses for the same cable sizes.

Can we have the option to add DC and AC cable losses separately under the total cable losses section? (maybe including cable size)

During power clipping, DC cable losses will be recaptured by clipped DC power. So it needs to be defined separately.

Following the example cases,

1. Centralized architecture: DC cable loss - 1.5%, AC cable loss - 0.2%

2. Decentralized architecture: DC cable loss - 0.5%, AC cable loss - 2%

Hi,

Are you planning to add this function?

Hi Ajay,

thank you for your valuable input. We will put this feature request on our list.

Kind regards,

Has this feature been added yet?

A separate loss for each cable length would be so beneficial.

Dear CarlSEL,

Thank you for your inquiry.

If you select detailed dimensioning on the ‘Cables’ page, the separate losses for the DC and AC cables are displayed in the energy balance:

I was asking about the AC cables. I have 25 330k inverters all with different lengths ranging from 100 metres to 300 metres. There is no way to manually input each cable length.

Dear CarlSEL,

Thank you for the clarification. We have passed your request on to our development department once again.
