Hi
I am wondering whether you have or come across a simple python code to do something like this:
To find out number of capacitor banks (of X MVAr) available at a Substation (Given a PSSE Case) Ans: 1 or 2 or 3 or etc
Eg 1: Number of 50 MVAr (Say) Capacitor Banks at JERVIS WHITLY Substation
EG 2: Number of gen units on line at a Substation
Ta DON
If I am understanding your question correctly, I would do something along the lines of the following:
total_mvar = 0
for block in range(1,8):
ierr, steps, mvar = psspy.swsblk(bus, block)
total_mvar = total_mvar + steps * mvar
psspy.report('Total MVAR at bus ' + str(bus) + ': ' + str(total_mvar) + '\n')
This (untested, hasty code) takes a bus and adds up all the switched shunt support on it. You would still need to add in any fixed shunts to find the actual VAR support on the bus. This could probably be done with inifxs(), nxtfxs(), and fxsdt1().
You could wrap this up in a nice chunk of code, providing a simple list of buses, and you could automate the process pretty easily.
As far as for generators, it wouldn't be too hard to do something similar to the capacitor code above.

@Don do you mean all components connected radially, or just ones connected to a particular bus?
