    Hello.
    I am running a simulation (1 day with 1 min time step) of a simple network with solar panel and loads.
    When I display the result of the voltage in the voltage profile(Mag) 3D graph I get a value of 230 V.
    But when i display the voltage profile (p.u.) I get 0.8 p.u.

    As the circuit is defined with kv=0.4 (RMS Line-to-Line), 230V should be 1 p.u. and not 0.8 p.u. (assuming voltage profile (Mag) displays the RMS Phase-to-line value).

    How is the p.u. value calculated ?
    are the assumption I make correct ?

    Thank you for your help,

    Lionel Bally

    Hi Lionel,

    Well, this situation normally happens when the voltage bases are not defined. In this case what you can do, is to create a control file with the DSS editor (Edit DSS File when the contructor is enabled), there insert a line declarig the voltage bases, for example:

    Set Voltagebases=[115, 4.16, .48]

    In this array you must include all the voltage bases. Then associate this file as a DSS Control file. Then everything should work fine.

    Regards

    Davis
