Description

1

Element

string
(CktElement name)

Full object name of the circuit element, typically a line or transformer, which the control is monitoring. There is no default; must be specified.

2

Terminal

integer

1

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

3

kWLimit

real

8000.0

kW Limit for the monitored element. The generators are dispatched to hold the power in band.

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

GenList

array of strings

Array list of generators to be dispatched. If not specified, all generators in the circuit are assumed dispatchable.

7

Weights

array of reals

Array of proportional weights corresponding to each generator in the GenList. The needed kW to get back to center band is dispatched to each generator according to these weights.

8

BaseFreq

real

Hz

Base Frequency for ratings.

9

Enabled

boolean

True

Indicates whether this element is enabled.
