AC resistive reference

Power used for the AC resistive losses

Inputs used: AC circuit: loss fraction at STC, MV transformer: load (copper) loss at STC, MV line: loss fraction at STC

What it is

The AC cables, the transformer windings and the MV and HV lines lose power in proportion to the square of the current. The options set which power each of these losses is computed on.

Options

Inverter output: every load-dependent loss on the inverter output
Cascade: each loss on the power that reaches its stage
