Having trouble plotting wind machine P, Q and slip in dynamic simulations

So I'm running a dynamic study in PSSe, trying to investigate the effects of wind farm modelling on system stability. Some of the first results I've gotten are rather counter-intuitive, so I'd like to probe a little deeper into what's going on -- for example, by looking at the P and Q infeed from the wind farms, as well as the slip (speed deviation) of induction-type wind generators (WT1 and WT3). However, PSSe refuses to cooperate.

  • When I use CHSB with PELEC and QELEC as the parameters to add, it simply skips over my wind machines.
  • When I explicitly try to add the parameters of specific wind machines using MACHINEARRAYCHANNEL, the channels do show up in the output .txt file, but all values are 0.
  • When I try to add the generator speed deviation with STATE_CHANNEL (it's a state in both the WT12T1 and WT3T1 models), again the channels show up but with all values at 0.

Is anyone familiar with these issues and do you know a way around them? I'm using PSSe 33.9. Many thanks for any help you guys can provide!
