The Bus Display presents data describing each bus in the case. The Bus Display is a class of Case Information Display and therefore can be used in a manner consistent with all other case information displays. It has a case information toolbar from which you can print, copy, and modify its records as well as view the information dialog of its associated bus. You can also sort the bus records by clicking on the heading of the field by which you want to sort. Additionally, you can choose to restrict the records shown by the Bus Records Display according to the constraints of the area/zone/owner filters. Finally, when Simulator is in Edit Mode, the case information toolbar allows you to add new buses to or remove existing buses from the system.

To show the bus records display, select Network > Buses from the Model Explorer or from the Case Information ribbon group under the Case Information ribbon tab.

Area Name

Alphanumeric identifier of the bus’ area.

Nom kV

The nominal base voltage of the bus in kV.

PU Volt

Bus’ per unit voltage magnitude.

Volt (kV)

Bus’ actual voltage magnitude in kV. This is the per unit voltage magnitude multiplied by the bus’ nominal voltage.

Angle (Deg)

Bus’ voltage angle in degrees.

Load MW, Load Mvar

Total real and reactive load at the bus. If no loads are located at the bus, these fields are blank.

Gen MW, Gen Mvar

Total real and reactive generation at the bus. If no generators are located at the bus, these fields are blank.

Switched Shunt Mvar

Total switched shunt device reactive power injection at the bus.

Act G Shunt MW, Act B Shunt Mvar

Total real and reactive fixed bus shunt injections.

Area Num
