DC Transmission Line Options

Concept Link IconSee Also

 

This dialog is used to view and modify the parameters associated with each two-terminal DC transmission line in the system. It can also be used to insert new two-terminal DC transmission lines or to delete existing ones.

 

The following fields are available regardless of which tab of the dialog is selected:

Rectifier and Inverter Bus Numbers and Names

These fields indicate the numbers and names of the rectifier and inverter ends of the line. When graphically inserting a DC line, these fields are automatically determined based upon the starting and ending buses used in drawing the line. When investigating existing DC line records, you may use the Find By Numbers button to identify a DC line between a specific rectifier - inverter pair. You may also use the spin control to cycle through the list of DC line records modeled in the case.

Circuit ID

Two-character identifier used to distinguish between multiple DC lines joining the same two buses. Default is ‘1'.

Find By Numbers

To find a DC line by its bus numbers, enter the Rectifier and Inverter bus numbers and the Circuit ID. Then click this button. Use the spin button to cycle through the list of DC lines in the system.

Area Name

Names of the areas in which the rectifier and inverter buses are located.

Labels

Clicking this button will open the Subscribed Aliases dialog displaying the list of defined labels for the DC line. New labels can also be added for the DC Line from this dialog as well.

Link to New DC Line

This button is only available if this dialog is accessed by selecting a DC transmission line display object or inserting a new one.

Use the Link to New DC Line button to link an existing DC transmission line display object to a different DC transmission line. Clicking this button will open a dialog from which the new DC line can be selected.

This dialog has separate pages: Line Parameters, Rectifier/Inverter Parameters, OPF, Custom, and Stability. The separate pages can be accessed using the tabs shown at the top of the dialog. These pages can be used to view/change the modeling parameters associated with the DC lines.
