PV smoothing still has some discrepancies between PV Smoothing Outpower (the output used to calculate violations) and System Power Generated (the final power output of the simulation). A major cause of this is that losses are not provided to the PV Smoothing algorithm. In the defaults case, this causes a constant, 1% difference in output power.
There are two other inputs that need to be set properly for these outputs to align. The user should get warnings to prevent issues:
• The “minimum time at charge state” input on the dispatch page being shorter than the ramp interval
• If simulating a DC connected battery, the inverter efficiency cutoff could cause trouble.
