[esp-r] PV modeling

[Liam O'Brien]

Hello all,

I'm interested in modeling a PV panel only without the effects of network losses, an inverter, etc.  Ideally I would have liked to merely have a single node "network" that the PV panel is connected to.  However, ESP-r is not allowing me to do so, stating that "Error: Node   1 PV_node     is not connected to the network."  

Is there any way around this?  While I could model a more detailed network, the configurations I have tried consistently give me errors.  (Even if the "check network for errors" passed, bps quits without warning when I  try to initiate a simulation.  

Are there any good sources of information for modeling electrical networks?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Liam
