Summary
This is a proposal for a revision to the electrical system, to better model how real life works. I believe the changes to functionality and calculations are relatively minor, with little impact to how parts are used. The proposal, in short, is to model the system not with Watts, but with voltage and amperage (current). To keep realism, but maintain simplicity, the system will either model everything as AC, or as DC. It is not particularly important which is used.
Basic System
The system would divide devices into four categories based on two properties: high vs. low voltage, and current source vs. sink.
| High Voltage | Low Voltage | |
|---|---|---|
| Current Source | * Solid Generator
* Solar Panel * Stationary Battery |
* APC
* Battery Cell * Transformer |
| Current Sink | * Stationary Battery
* APC * Transformer |
* Pretty much every device unless there is something added that makes sense as a high voltage appliance. |
