Hello,

I have successfully built a script in Python that executes a bump test on a steady-state model and am now building code to run dynamic simulations. Specifically, I would like to adjust the Vref parameter in a REGCA1 model that is attached to one of my IBR generators. Here is what I have written so far:

psspy.case(CASE)

psspy.fdns([0,0,0,1,1,0,99,0])

psspy.cong()

psspy.ordr()

psspy.fact()

psspy.tysl()

case_root = os.path.splitext(CASE) [0]

psspy.save(caseroot + "C.sav")

psspy.dyre_new([1, 1, 1, 1],DYR, '', '', '')

psspy.branchmvachannel([-1,-1,-1,200,100],'1')

psspy.branchpandqchannel([-1,-1,-1,200,100],'1')

psspy.strt(0, OUTFILE)

psspy.run(tpause=10)

psspy.changeplmodvar(1000,1,REGCA1,1,115)

psspy.run(tpause=20)

However, when I run this I receive the following error:

"NameError: name 'REGCA1' is not defined"

If I open PSS/E I can see that the model is, in fact, there. Perhaps I am doing something wrong on the initialization? Any help would be appreciated.

I should also note that I do have the code for the DMView; however, I do not have the code that changes the V and F (only other examples such as SCMVA and SCR2, etc.).

Thank you much!

You have entered variable name REGCA1, which is not defined in the code, instead of string 'REGCA1'.

However, the voltage reference shall be changed with api change_vref!

The voltage setpoint is defined in REECA1 and not in REGCA1!

Do you really want to change the setpoint to 115 pu?
