OK, thanks @perolofl. I'll leave the comment in though for anyone searching for the topic in the future.

Thank you, this seems to work like a charm! Only minor thing is that my background script (script 2) didn't want to exit the while loop after saving the pdf's, but continued searching for new windows, so I added a time based exit criteria using "time.time()" Anyway - thumbs up!

I wrote Siemens PTI support about this issue not too long ago, and the reply was that the recommended models for modelling this dynamically are the REGCAU/REECCU/REPCAU models, added as generator control, voltage control and auxiliary control for the renewable plant respectively. You can find descriptions of the models in the model documentation, and WECC have some pretty neat battery modelling guidelines to these models, which are easily found by a google search on "WECC battery modelling guidelines" for instance.

If you decide to use these renewable energy ("RE") models, the BESS should be modelled as a wind machine in the load flow, with Zsorce as @pssuser writes. You can set active power between +/- Pmax, and the dynamic model picks it up when initializing for dynamic simulations.

...but now I see that you are using PSSE v32 - are the "RE"-models included in v32?

(PSSE v 33.12) I have a bunch of case files for which I want to automate printing of .slds to pdfs.

I do not want to use the "export to image"-functionality as the graphics are pixel based and does not provide good enough resolution.

I tried to do this by simply printing to pdf as I would have done manually by using printdiagfile(), but by looking at the API, it seems there is no way to set the pdf document name other than stopping and doing this manually for each slider I want to export.

Is it possible to set the pdf-name when using printdiagfile() in the python script, so that I don't have to manually enter this, or do I have to have a look at other options in order to figure out how to automate this process?
