Hi, How can I monitor branch current as an output channel in dynamic simulation?
Unfortunately, PSSE doesn't have any channel for branch current. I see at least three alternatives for you.
Calculate from line MVA and bus voltage. Add channels with line MVA flow and bus voltage magnitude. Use a function in plotbook to calcuate I = MVA / Vpu / base voltage / 1.73205 to get the current in kA.
Use a line relay model, e.g. TIOCR1, with dummy parameters and assign the model VAR containing the line current into a channel. The line current will be in pu.
Write a user written model that calculates the line current and assigns it to a VAR. Add a channel for the model VAR. This is how I solved it myself!
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to simulate a frequency disturbance event and compare the simulation with my V and I data. The formula in #1 should only valid in steady state and may not give accurate result when frequency changes. I am wondering if you have any examples to show how #2 works?
