What is 'gen' (System Power Generated in kW) from PySAM/SAM Desktop

Hi Paul,

Is gen or system power generated (kW) the hourly AC power generated by the system? 

I just wanted to confirm this as I am trying to validate some real-world data for some different installations by creating a PySAM model. 
And, I have 5 minute intervals of avg AC power for the system which I have converted into hourly values for an entire year. 

So, I just wanted to confirm whether I am be validating the results by comparing the correct value. 

Thanks a lot, 
Ajinkya

Hi Ajinkya,

The 'gen' output variable is the AC power delivered to the grid (and/or load for behind-the-meter systems). It should reflect all losses and grid limits you include in your analysis.

Best regards,
Paul.
