My 2 cents:

• Open your case and dynamics in PSS/E
• Dynamics (tab at top) -> List -> Model Storage Locations
• Wind Machines -> Selected subsystem -> OK. This output will tell you where the storage locations are.
• Now, from the Models.pdf, you can get the offsets of each channel from the base positions. A command to monitor that channel might look something like this:
• BAT_STATE_CHANNEL, -1, 123456, 'Iq_MyGenerator'

Good afternoon!

Intel released a new Fortran compiler recently, which is completely free and doesn't require a license. How do I get this new 2021.5 Intel OneAPI HPC Fortran compiler working with PSSE 33.12.2? I'd really like to get this working in PSS/E, if anyone has ideas, please let me know?

I was able to get it working for PSCAD, but not PSSE. To get it working in PSCAD, I did the following:

1. First install Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition
2. You must install the “Desktop C++” development packages as well! Remember to check this box when installing.
3. Then, follow this link:
4. https: //www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/toolkits.html#gs.yrlrg7
5. Install the “OneAPI Base Toolkit”
6. Install the “OneAPI HPC Toolkit”
7. Reboot
8. Next, to make it work with PSCAD, you need to download the latest Fortran Medic for PSCAD, found here:
9. http: //updater.pscad.com/utilities/FortranMedic.zip
10. Run Fortran Medic
11. Actions -> Start
12. In the output window, you can right-click RED items to try to fix them.
13. You may also need to select one of the GREEN items to switch your environment to use Visual Studio 2019 Community edition.
14. After this, open PSCAD.
15. File -> Options -> Dependencies -> Version: “Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic 2021.5.0”

Hi all,

I wanted to share something helpful for the PSSE community. You can have multiple PSSE sub-versions installed of PSSE 33 and quickly swap between them, but it takes a little "trick".

If you install PSSE 33.7, copy/paste the C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE33\ folder somewhere else,

then install PSSE 33.12.0, copy/paste the C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE33\ folder somewhere else,

you can then swap between versions by cut/pasting which folder is in Program Files.

Cut-Paste the 33.7 folder into Program files? Now you have 33.7.

Cut-Paste 33.12.0 folder into Program Files? Now you have 33.12.0.

More-over, Microsoft SysInternals publishes a "junction" program which acts like Linux folder-mounts.

https:// docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/junction

If you additionally keep track of the version you have installed by keeping a Desktop Shortcut which indicates the version, this becomes a really slick way to manage multiple installations.

With a BAT something like below ran as administrator, you can swap between 33.7 and 33.12.2:

taskkill /F /IM psse33.exe

junction.exe -d "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE33"

junction.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE33" "C:\PSSE33.12.2RC2\PSSE33"

del /f "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\PSSE 33.7.lnk"

copy "C:\PSSE 33.12.2.lnk" "C:\Users\Public\Desktop\PSSE33.12.2.lnk"

I have a number of User Defined Models (UDM) DLLs which are for generators in my interconnection queue, and they are in PSSE 33.12. My latest generation queue is in PSSE 34.7, and it's required to model ALL previous interconnection customers, which submitted models in PSSE 33.12.

How do I get those PSSE 33.12 DLL files to be usable in PSSE 34.7?

It seems stupid to throw away all my generation models on each update of PSSE, especially when utilities are accepting User Defined Models from generators. Is Siemens working on a method to make this sustainable for their customers in the future, with some version-agnostic DLL?

I'd like to create a .py file which can run a contingency on a .sav & .dyr, then move onto the next .sav & .dyr. How do I close the previous snapshot / dynamics data, to open the next one to run?

How do I access graphics functionality from within PSSPY?

When I attempt to open an SLD and export a BMP file, I get: "Graphics functions cannot be used when the GUI is not used."

Is there an API command to show the GUI, so those functions are available?
