Inverter power output is not limited by the solar output

[aivanova5]

Problem description

The output power from the inverter ignores how much solar is being produced. The PNNL version of the code limits the inverter output based on solar, slacgismo however outputs the signal power (P_Out)

For example, if PV panel has 1kW peak power and Inverter P_Out is set to 50kW the output from the inverter is not limited by output from PV and produces 50kW.

Steps to reproduce

(Explain how to reproduce the behavior, e.g.,)

1. Run gridlabd simple.glm

Expected behavior

• Operating system: MAC and docker

Supporting information

The warnings as below do not appear when using the PNNL version of GRIDLABD

WARNING  [INIT] : class_find_property(CLASS *oclass='solar', PROPERTYNAME name='phases': property is deprecated
WARNING  [2020-01-01T00:00:00-05:00] : last warning message was repeated 4 times
WARNING  [2020-01-01T00:00:00-05:00] : DC maximum power output is less than the real power output from the inverter. A higher DC power rating is recommended. Currently the VSI power output is not limited by the DC power output.

The solution at this point is to follow the recommendation issued by the warning. Eventually, this will have to fixed by the PNNL team.
