Reference

API field

DC reference power of the efficiency curve

The DC power the part-load curve refers to

Unit kW

What it is

The DC power the part-load efficiency curve is expressed against: the loads of the curve are fractions of it. The field is in kilowatts; the API takes watts. Empty resolves to the AC nameplate, as for an OND file without a DC rating.

Typical values and how to get it

The OND value. If not given: the AC nameplate, also when an OND file has no PNomDC.
