Hi everyone! I want to find weak voltage buses during dynamic simulation after tripping a larger power plant. Then shed loads from weak buses to stabilise the system. Is there a python API to find weak voltage buses? If someone can answer it will be a big help for me. Thanks in Advance
It seem your problem is a UVLS study in disguise. Check the post "How to calculate the best load shedding bus?"
In a dynamic simulation, add UVLS relays to all loads in the study region (model LVSHAR for area x, use a single stage) with generic settings for the voltage level to trip, the time delay before tripping and the fraction of load to be shed. (0.9 V pu, 3 sec, 0.05).
Let the UVLS relay model find those buses with low voltages during the simulation. Then load will be shed (5% of total bus load) and the simulation continues. At the end, several buses would have load shed. Verify with a voltage scan (vchk activity) that the lowest voltage is acceptable. If not, repeat the run with a higher fraction of load to be shed, say 10%.
Local buses would have different voltage thresholds or time delays tolerances to activate the relays. A more realistic UVLS study would require to vary all three parameters (v, t, f) in 3 to 5 stages model customized to the bus load requirements, all these tested under several extreme contingencies and network conditions.
Thanks for the answer. Without using UVLS, can I use user written model UVUFBLU1 ? Because I want to shed loads considering both voltage and frequency. I have tried to implement LS by detection of df/dt & frequency deviation and shedding loads from weakest buses by checking voltage violations.
You can report all buses with voltages below a certain limit, for example 90% voltage:
psspy.vchk(0,1, 0.9, 2.0)
You need create udm to monitor all buses and records lowest one at each time step.
