To view the Multi-Terminal DC Bus Record dialog, right-click on a bus record in the DC Buses tab of the Multi-Terminal DC Record dialog and select Show Dialog from the resulting popup menu. The dialog has the following fields:
Converter Parameters
Number of Bridges
Number of bridges in series for the selected converter.
Converter Type
R for rectifier or I for inverter.
Commutating Impedance
Commutating impedance per bridge, in Ohms.
Firing Angle Limits
The maximum and minimum firing angle limits, in degrees.
Transformer Parameters
AC Base
The primary AC base voltage, in kV.
DC Base
The DC base voltage, in kV.
Transformer Ratio
Actual transformer ratio.
Tap Settings
Displays the actual tap setting, the tap step, and maximum and minimum tap values for the converter transformer.
Control Parameters
Setpoint
The setpoint control value at the converter. For the voltage-controlling converter, this field is set to 0. For the remaining converters, this field displays MW when in Power mode, or Amps when in Current mode.
Margin
Rectifier margin, entered in per-unit of the DC power or current. This field is currently only for support of other load flow formats, and is not used by Simulator.
DC Participation Factor
Converter participation factor. This field is currently only for support of other load flow formats, and is not used by Simulator.
Voltage
The DC Voltage magnitude at the DC side of the converter.
Solved Parameters
Firing Angle
The firing angle of the converter, as determined during the load flow solution.
DC Current
The calculated DC current at the converter DC terminal.
MW, MVAR
The real and reactive power delivered to (or absorbed from) the AC system by the converter.
