PV Curves: Setup

 

The Setup tab is found on the PV Curves dialog.

 

The main part of the Setup tab allows selection of the Ramping Method. The options are:

• Injection Group Source/Sink - This is the traditional PV ramping method that increases generation or decreases load in the Source injection group and decreases generation or increases load in the Sink injection group to model a transfer. Ramping setup and other options are described in the Injection Group Ramping Options topic.
• Interface MW Flow - This method implements a transfer by increasing the loading on up to two selected interfaces. This process automatically solves a sequence of OPF solutions at incremental levels of increased loading on these interfaces. Ramping setup and other options are described in the Interface Ramping Options topic.

Once the ramping method has been defined, the ramping process is performed incrementally, based upon user specified options on how the transfer should vary during the solution process.

The remainder of the setup options are found on sub-tabs for Common Options and Advanced Options.
