Pumping station

I am looking for a model to simulate a PV system that largely runs a pumping station.
Each pump shall be run by an individual VFD. Other loads are run from a net metering
inverter. In case of pumps being off, energy shall be sent to the utility through net metering.
How can I model this in SAM?
Kind regards

Hi Farook Shah,

SAM's behind-the-meter models like the Detailed PV / Commercial configuration require a time series array of data to represent the load. There are not inputs for different loads, so you would have to construct the array to represent the pumping load combined with other loads. Any time the PV output is greater than the load, the system exports power to the grid. When the load is less than the PV output, the system imports energy from the grid.

Best regards,
Paul.
