How to plot Fault current waveform in PSSE
Hi, I am doing short circuit analysis of IEEE test networks in PSSE. When I use IEC or ANSI based short circuit analysis it just outputting the final current magnitudes. But I want to plot the fault current waveform. I also tried doing dynamic simulation and try to plot the fault current. But in the channel output section I can find only predefined variables such as Vref, Angle, Frequency.....etc. But I did not find the fault current parameter to map to the channel output. Ultimately I want to match the short circuit results of PSSE with Simulink.
I am vey new to PSSE and any help is greatly appreciated.
If I don't remeber it wrong, PSSE just return rms values, even in dynamic simulation so waveform current is impossible to achieve. You can try another software such as PSCAD. In case you just want to see the power flowing through branches during fault, P(flow) may be a good choice.
