Revision history [back]

Hi folks!, Thanks to the help of this forum I made many script in python. Once again: Thank you all! I made a script to detect under voltage buses in post-mortem .SAVs cases and then send the info to Excel. The script work fine but can´t handle buses with NaN values…. The full issue is:

• I make a dynamic simulation of a branch trip connected to a generator.
• After the simulation, the system survives.
• All voltage and branch currents are ok, but the bus voltage of the generator (isolated after the trip) has a mysterious value of “-1,$” (NaN!)
• When I try to send the information to Excel, the script fails (stops)
• The version of my PSS/E is 33.5 and Python 2.7.

Should I write any type of exception in my script? Should a try not to trip generators without transformers?... Any ideas? Thanks a lot in advance!
