[Equest-users] Process Load / Baseline vs Proposed : Solution

[Jeff Ross-Bain]

Many thanks to those who answered, but I found the culprit:

It seems that the addition of a solar PV array, as an electric generator,
reduces a portion of the "Misc (or process)" load as a result.
When I add the PV, about half of its power generation is subtracted from the
BEPU output report, but the total "Misc (or process)" load remains unchanged
on the PS-F form.
When I remove the PV, all values between the two output reports equalize.

Hi All,

My Process load value for proposed is higher than Baseline but also has an
interesting twist: The proposed BEPU value (misc. loads) is less than the
PS-F value. These are usually the same. 
I have compared all equipment process values which match (BL and Prop) and
even checked the crankcase heat inputs.
Any idea where else I can look ?
Thanks,
