Revision history [back]

Here's a quick turn around I have practiced with great effectiveness not using PSS/E but PowerWorld.

1. Download PowerWorld academic version.
2. Open any case in PowerWorld, choose largest case that can be loaded.
3. Go to the stability add-on.
4. Put dynamic models in each component (gens, exciters, governors, PSS, HVDC, SVC, wind turbines, etc). - PowerWorld has default dynamic data for each but you have to edit out some parameters like MVA base, etc.
5. Save the case. Run the case in PowerWorld stability and even allow PowerWorld to check and correct the dynamic data.
6. Save the dynamic data in dyr format. - PowerWorld has a feature on this.
7. Open the dyr file in a text editor. Edit as possible (bus numbers, bus names to match your case.)
8. Read dyr file in PSS/E. And you are all set!
