Dear friend,

I would like to trip 2 branches of double transmission lines or remove 1 generator for analyzing the contingency. Please help me the commands for file .con. I will highly appreciate your help. Thank you in advanced.

Okay, lets assume that you want to run two contingencies:

  • Contingency one: Trip line 1 from bus 101 to bus 102, and trip line 2 from bus 101 to bus 102
  • Contingency two: Disconnect generator 1 from bus 101

The following CON file will perform these actions. Just replace the bus numbers, circuit identifiers and unit number with your own. If you want to remove one of the contingencies, make sure the file still ends with two "END" lines. The first ends the description of the contingency, and the next ends the description of the file.

CONTINGENCY TRIP_DOUBLE_CIRCUIT
TRIP BRANCH FROM BUS 101 TO BUS 102 CKT 1
TRIP BRANCH FROM BUS 101 TO BUS 102 CKT 2
END
CONTINGENCY DISCONNECT_GENERATOR
REMOVE UNIT 1 FROM BUS 101
END
END

Hi @Eli Pack, can we mix individual trips/disconnects/remove with an automatic outage in one contingency group?

Yes. Start with a line that gives your contingency a title (e.g. "CONTINGENCY TRIP_DOUBLE_CIRCUIT"), then list as many commands as you like, then "END". Each CON file can have multiple contingencies, which have multiple actions. I generally include the remedial actions that apply post-contingently.

I am having problems running a con file with the following contingencies in one grouping: REMOVE UNIT 1 FROM BUS 101, SINGLE BRANCH FROM BUS 101, END, END. The psse output says there is a problem at SINGLE. What am I doing wrong??

About tripping single branch, use the command: CONTINGENCY TRIP101-102 TRIP LINE FROM BUS 101 TO BUS 102
