Description
Summary
Each component needs access to the global MVA base to perform base conversions for quantities such as power and current correctly.
Rationale
At the time of writing this, the PhasorDynamics module assumes a priori that the system base is 100 MVA. In #286 , we implemented the machine model MVA base conversion, but the models must assume the system base is 100 MVA. This may not be true for all cases.
Description
The Component class protected variable mva_system_base_ should reflect what is specified in the input JSON file. This system-level information needs to be provided to all component models.

Research direction
Start by locating the Component class and the code that reads the input JSON and constructs component models. Trace how mva_system_base_ is initialized and propagated, then verify that it uses the input system base rather than assuming 100 MVA for power and current conversions.
