This example model shows how three-phase unbalanced loads can be used.
This model contains two set of loads (one for each type: resistive, inductive and capacitive)
that consume power just on the first phase. The example shows how it's possible to model
this situation in two different ways. It's possible to not connect the loads on the phases
setting the parameters plugLoad*=false
.
The alternative is to impose the load on a specific phase equal to zero.
The power measured by the sensors on each phase show that the results are equal.
Whenever possible it is preferred to disable the load on a specific phase using the parameter plugLoad*
because the equations relative to the load are conditionally removed, reducing the size
of the system of equations.
