Hi Geng
Such fluctuations are usually caused by numerical noise. A larger cutoff, e.g. 800 instead of 400Ry, will most likely resolve that issue.

Subject: [CP2K:12697] energy jump in SCCS
Dear CP2K users,
I am trying to use the SCCS solvent model to optimize a H2O molecule in solvent and calculate the solvation energy.
I found that during the structure optimization, the total energy jumps up almost 3 eV, but the structure of H2O still looks good.
Finally, with the energy obtained in solvent ( -17.07615353442375 a.u.) and energy in vacuum (-17.22203206260123), the solvation energy is positive.
Therefore, there must be something wrong in the calculations, but I can not figure it out.
grep "Total energy:" cp2k.out gives:
Total energy: -17.22994560779211
Total energy: -17.23016218028583

I greatly appreciate any suggestions on fixing this.
Thank you very much.
