The difference is due to the convention used in dynamics simulation output (see list of output signals in Table 14-2 in PSS/E V32 Operation Manual). Mechanical power is given in pu on machine MVA basis (MBASE) while electrical power is expressed on system MVA basis (SYSMVA=100 MVA by default). For example, a 500 MVA machine with 0.8 pu mechanical power (i.e. 0.8x500=400 MW) will have electrical power equal to 4 pu (on 100 MVA basis), if losses are neglected.
