PV Smoothing Violation variable seems not to consider real violations

Hi Paul, hope everything is fine.

I am writting in the forum due to a problem I have while using the PV smoothing option in a Detail PV + Storage project. My target is to check how different batteries manage to correct the ramp violations. In that way, I am monitoring the PV Smoothing Violation variable and I found that the violations indicated are measured in the variable PV Smoothing OutPower. However, PV Smoothing OutPower is not equal to System Power Generated, which I assume is the real injected power and, therefore, the indicated violations are not the real ones.

When I set a battery power very high expecting to have 0 violations, I can see that there are no violations indicated but, they actually exist in System Power Generated. Am I doing something wrong? And, if the answer is no, are there any possible solutions?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
Miguel

Hi Paul:

I look forward to the new version.

Thank you.
Kind regards

Hi Paul:

I have checked that the bug was a problem with a beta version not available for the users, so no problem there. I would like to attach a figure about the problem I have, it is shown how the violations measured in "System power generated" reach a fixed value even for really high battery powers. Battery enery is not a problem as it is set to a very high value. Violations measured in pv smoothing outpower actually reach zero. 

Maybe, the problem is that the feedback variable in the pv smoothing algorithim is pv smoothing outpower and not the real injected power. Big batteries are able to achieve the demanded ramp rate but their capabilites are not used due to the control algorithim. I am using a weather file with 1 minute resolution and a ramp interval of 1 minute. I just wanted to be sure if I am explaining myselft properly and if the new version will cover these issues.

Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Miguel
