    When setting up DG based on the instructions:
    http://www.energycommunity.org/default.asp?action=9&read=1964&fid=22


    I get an error `Modules might be out of order`and some modules produce excess energy;this does not occur without the DG.

    Am using leap 2015.0.4

    Hi Patricia,

    First - I've clarified a few points in Tory's original posting to which you provided a link. I haven't changed the spirit of her answer, but it might be worth a quick re-read.

    The message which you see is a diagnostic message, which is slightly different than an error. Your model will run, but LEAP is making you aware that the fuel 'Electricity' is produced by a module which is higher in the tree than another module which *consumes* electricity (your T+D module). In some models, this would be an issue if you intend all electricity which is generated to flow through your transmission module - but I do not believe this is the case for you.

    For some additional background on how LEAP determines (and satisfies) transformation requirements, please see this help page:

    Hope this helps,
