Description

1

Element

string
(CktElement name)

Full object name of the circuit element, typically a line or transformer, which the control is monitoring.

2

Terminal

integer

1

Number of the terminal of the circuit element to which the ESPVLControl control is connected. 1 or 2, typically. Make sure you have the direction on the power matching the sign of kWLimit.

3

Type

string
(from enum. Type)

Type of controller. 1= System Controller; 2= Local controller.

4

kWBand

real

100.0

Bandwidth (kW) of the dead band around the target limit.No dispatch changes are attempted if the power in the monitored terminal stays within this band.

5

kvarLimit

real

4000.0

Max kvar to be delivered through the element. Uses same dead band as kW.

6

LocalControlList

array of strings

Array list of ESPVLControl local controller objects to be dispatched by System Controller. If not specified, all ESPVLControl devices with type=local in the circuit not attached to another controller are assumed to be part of this controller’s fleet.

7

LocalControlWeights

array of reals

Array of proportional weights corresponding to each ESPVLControl local controller in the LocalControlList.

8

PVSystemList

array of strings

Array list of PVSystem objects to be dispatched by a Local Controller.

9

PVSystemWeights

array of reals

Array of proportional weights corresponding to each PVSystem in the PVSystemList.

10

StorageList

array of strings

Array list of Storage objects to be dispatched by Local Controller.

11

StorageWeights

array of reals

Array of proportional weights corresponding to each Storage object in the StorageControlList.

12

BaseFreq

real

Hz

Base Frequency for ratings.

13

Enabled

boolean

True

Indicates whether this element is enabled.

14
