Sandia Inverter Model

Inverter power is calculated using the Sandia Inverter model.

This is described in King, David L, Sigifredo Gonzalez, Gary M Galbraith,

and William E Boyson. 2007.

“Performance Model for Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Inverters.”

\[P_{ac} = {(P_{aco}/(A-B)) - C\cdot(A-B)}\cdot(P_{dc}-B)+C\cdot(P_{dc}-B)^2\]

where:

\[A = P_{dco}\cdot(1+C_{1}(V_{dc}-V_{dco}))\]\[B = P_{so}\cdot(1+C_{2}(V_{dc}-V_{dco}))\]\[C = C_{o}\cdot(1+C_{3}(V_{dc}-V_{dco}))\]
