Grids

The Grid settings allow users to configure a site’s power draw from the grid or localized power generation infrastructure such as solar arrays.

Any grids specified in the Setup > Lists > Electrical Grids will be listed in the Grid Input table with power draw specifications to be entered under various conditions.

The simulation can use different values depending on whether it is day or night and whether the condition is dry or wet.
