.BuildingSystems.Electrical.Interfaces.InductiveLoad

Information

This is a model of a generic inductive load. This model is an extension of the base load model BuildingSystems.Electrical.Interfaces.Load.

This model assumes a fixed power factor pf when the flag use_pf_in = false otherwise it uses the power factor specified by the input pf_in.

The power factor (either the input or the parameter) is used to compute the reactive power Q given the active power P

Q = P tan(arccos(pf))

• April 4, 2024, by Michael Wetter:
  Reformulated calculation of reactive power to bound argument of tangent away from π, which avoids an infinite function value.
  This is for Buildings, #3776.
• June 06, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
  Added power factor input pf_in and updated documentation.
• May 15, 2014, by Marco Bonvini:
  Created documentation.
• October 31, 2013, by Marco Bonvini:
