Modelling SVC using Switched Shunt

Hello, I'm trying to model a SVC using "Switched Shunt" in both Steady State and Dynamic. The SVC is calculated to be +/- 100MVAR. Accordingly, I adjusted the parameters of Switched Shunt Data Record to be as follow: Bus Number : 202 Control Mode: (2) Continuous Cntrl Voltage Adjustment Method: Nearest Combination Vhi (pu) = 1.05 Vlo (pu) = 0.95 Block 1 steps = 1 , Block (1) Bstep (MVAR) = -100 Block 2 steps = 1 , Block (2) Bstep (MVAR) = 100

These settings work very good in load flow with base case & contingency conditions and in each case the SVC inject or absorb reactive power maintaining the voltage on busbar # 202 = 1 pu.

However, when I modeled the SVC in .dyr file with the following parameters: 202, 'CSSCST', 0, 3000.0, 0.00, 0.00, 2.4, 0.00, 0.00, 100.0, -100.0, 0.50 /

The dynamic does not initialize INITIAL CONDITIONS SUSPECT: I DSTATE(I) STATE(I) MODEL STATE BUS# X-- NAME --X BASKV ID 868 19.548 -10.444 CSSCST K 202 ZOZOCAIRE225 225.00

The -10.444 MVAR is the Initial MVAR (Base Case) in load flow solution.

PLEASE ADVISE WHAT COULD BE THE MISTAKE AND HOW CAN I SOLVE IT.

Set Vhi = Vlo = 1.0 in load flow.

Thank you for your answer. What will be the effect or why we have to do this?

A continuous SVC should have a single voltage setpoint.

Ok thank you so much. I modified it and also reduced the gain to only 5 and it initializes correctly. I have another question now if possible: Can I plot the MVAR output from this Switched Shunt (SVC) during dynamic simulation. HOW?

The easiest solution is to split the bus and move the SVC to the new bus and add P&Q monitoring channels on the line (ZIL) between the buses.

Words cannot adequately express my gratitude. I only have one step left.. psspy.branch_p_and_q_channel([202,1018,1]) python command will not make the PSSE plotting the P & Q So how can I solve for this? Also there is something strange .. the .out file is almost empty with less than 1KB!
