Generator field display objects are used primarily to indicate various quantities associated with generation devices. Some generator field types, which are distinguished by an integrated spin button, may be used to change generation device properties.
This dialog can be opened by right-clicking on a generator display field and choosing to open the Generator Field Information Dialog while in run mode. If in edit mode this dialog will be opened simply by right-clicking on a generator display field.
The Generator Field Options dialog can be used to modify the properties of individual generator fields on the oneline. The dialog displays the following fields:
Find…
If you do not know the exact bus number or name you are looking for, you can click this button to open the advanced search engine.
Bus Number
Number of the bus to which the generator associated with the field is connected. Use the dropdown box to view a list of all buses with generators in the case with valid area/zone/owner filters.
Bus Name
Name of the bus to which the generator associated with the field is connected. Use the dropdown box to view a list of all buses with generators in the case with valid area/zone/owner filters.
ID
ID of the generator associated with the field. Generator IDs are two-character alphanumeric fields.
Total Digits in Field
Total number of digits to show in the field.
Digits to Right of Decimal
Number of digits to show to the right of the decimal point.
Field Value
The current value of the field being displayed.
Field Prefix
A prefix that can be specified and displayed with the selected value.
Delta Per Mouse Click
Generator fields can be used not only to show various fields associated with generation devices, but they can also be used to change some values. This is accomplished using spin buttons shown to the right of the generator field. When the up spin button is clicked, the generator field value is increased by the amount specified in the delta per mouse click field. When the down spin button is clicked, the generator field value is decreased by the same amount.
This field is only used for fields of the following types: Gen MW Output, Gen Mvar Output, and Gen Setpoint Voltage. Specifying a nonzero value in this field causes the integrated spin button to appear as part of the generator field on the oneline.
Rotation Angle in Degrees
The rotation angle at which the text field should be displayed.
Anchored
If this checkbox is checked, the generator field is anchored to its associated generator, which means that it will move with the generator.
Include Suffix
If this checkbox is checked, the corresponding field units will be displayed after the current value. Otherwise, only the value without units will be shown.
Type of Field
Used to determine the type of generator field to show. The following choices are available:
Gen MW Output
MW generation. Delta per Mouse Click can be specified to show a spin button next to this value that can be used for changing it directly from the oneline.
Gen Mvar Output
Mvar generation. Delta per Mouse Click can be specified to show a spin button next to this value that can be used for changing it directly from the oneline.
Gen AGC Status
AGC status of generator. While in run mode left clicking on this field will toggle the AGC status of the generator.
Gen AVR Status
AVR status of generator. While in run mode left clicking on this field will toggle the AVR status of the generator.
Gen Setpoint Voltage
Desired voltage to which the generator is regulating. Delta per Mouse Click can be specified to show a spin button next to this value that can be used for changing it directly from the oneline.
Select a Field
Choose from any of the available generator fields. Use the Find Field button to open a dialog from which the field can be selected.
Checking the Draw Sparkline checkbox will display a sparkline instead of a field value on the oneline and list only those fields that are available for representation as a sparkline.
Select OK to save changes and to close the dialog, or click Cancel to close the dialog without saving your changes.
