Having trouble plotting wind machine P, Q and slip in dynamic simulations

So I'm running a dynamic study in PSSe, trying to investigate the effects of wind farm modelling on system stability. Some of the first results I've gotten are rather counter-intuitive, so I'd like to probe a little deeper into what's going on -- for example, by looking at the P and Q infeed from the wind farms, as well as the slip (speed deviation) of induction-type wind generators (WT1 and WT3). However, PSSe refuses to cooperate.

  • When I use CHSB with PELEC and QELEC as the parameters to add, it simply skips over my wind machines.
  • When I explicitly try to add the parameters of specific wind machines using MACHINEARRAYCHANNEL, the channels do show up in the output .txt file, but all values are 0.
  • When I try to add the generator speed deviation with STATE_CHANNEL (it's a state in both the WT12T1 and WT3T1 models), again the channels show up but with all values at 0.

Is anyone familiar with these issues and do you know a way around them? I'm using PSSe 33.9. Many thanks for any help you guys can provide!

I have used version 33.9 to capture PELEC and QELEC with the WT3 wind models before without issue. In PSSE versions >33.5 you need to ensure the wind control mode flag in the machine powerflow model is not 0 when using the WT3 dynamic models for the machine.

I typically use the "Machinearraychannel" API function to define channel:

psspy.machine_array_channel([_i, channel, bus], id, _s)

Where channel=2 for PELEC, bus is the bus number of the wind machine and id is the id of the wind machine

Yeah, that's what I'm trying too, and I do have the wind control mode flags set properly... Still I'm seeing 0 everywhere. :/ Thanks for the reply though!

Issue fixed. I was being an idiot and forgot to change the bus type code from "load" to "generator" when I added wind machines... which understandably confused PSSe. It works as it should now.
