Why do we convert generators and loads??

Before doing dynamic studies, we have to convert our solved load flow case. Can someone please tell me the reason for it?? Thank you

In a regular power flow calculation, the generators and loads are represented as sources or sinks of active and reactive power. Take a look at any textbook to see how the equations are structured. In a dynamic simulation, generators are modelled as voltage-controlled current sources. So, you need to convert the generators to current sources before you transition from power flow calculation to dynamic simulation. The load in a regular PSSE power flow calculation has no dependency on terminal voltage or frequency. In a dynamic simulation, you want to consider these dependencies, or at least consider the voltage dependency. To do this, you need to convert the loads to impedances and/or current sources. More information about these processes can be found in the PSSE manuals.
