Reactive power generation

asked Jan 23 '18

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to get all reactive power generated/consumed in a subsystem (all of the system) coming form both generators and shunt elements. The question boils down to how to get the reactive power generated/consumed in the system.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Use activity SUBS which you find under Power Flow | Reports | Bus based reports...

Example in python for area 2 and 5:

psspy.bsys(0,0,[ 13.8, 500.],2,[2,5],0,[],0,[],0,[])
psspy.subs(0,0)

For the whole system:

psspy.subs(0,1)

Is it possible to get this in python for further data analysis rather than a print only?

You can use API ardat to get total generation and load for individual areas. It seems like total shunts is not supported.
