Dynamics voltage violation checks
Can someone help explain the usage for the dynamics voltage violation checks in PSS/e 34?
This is under the "Voltage Violation" tab in the "Dynamics" > "Dynamic Simulation Options" dialog box.
To see if I could get it to work, I did the following:
- Set up my contingency script to include the following before initializing:
iErr = psspy.set_volt_viol_subsys_flag(all = 1) # Monitor all buses for voltage violations
iErr = psspy.set_voltage_rec_check(vprchk = 1, vprthr = 0.98, vprtim = 0.1) # Primary voltage check for violations below 0.98 for 0.1s
- Simulated a large bus fault for several cycles.
- Cleared the fault and triggered the voltage violation check:
iErr = psspy.trig_volt_violation_check(1) # Trigger voltage violation checks
After that, I checked the progress output log but I didn't find anything that stood out. I'm fairly certain there were voltage violations as I did a quick spot check in PSSPLT and found several buses that had bus voltages below 0.98 for longer than 0.1s after the fault.
Resolved edit: It turns out there's a bug in the PSS/e python API. Running the commands in batch form is the working alternative and violations show up in the progress output like this:
VOLTAGE PRIMARY RECOVERY CHECK AT BUS 151 TESTBUS
AT TIME 1.183 VOLTAGE AT BUS WAS BELOW THE THRESHOLD VALUE OF 0.980 pu FOR MORE THAN 0.100 (s)
