Complete Case Auxiliary File Export Format Description
When choosing to Create Format for Complete Case from the Auxiliary File Format Description dialog, a dialog will appear asking you to choose which types of input data to define for storage. The options as of the Version 19, build on March 4, 2016included the following.
|
Custom Info |
Defines information for Custom Field Descriptions, Filter, Condition, Expression, String Expression, and Calculated Field objects |
|
Network Model |
Defines information that defines the network model. This is documented in detail in a special PDF document found at the following link: Record Format for a Power Flow Case |
|
Contingency |
Defines information related to contingency analysis tool. For example, this would include include CTG_Options_Value, CTG_AutoInsert_Options, CustomMonitor, Contingency Blocks, Global Actions, Remedial Actions, Contingencies and Contingency Monitoring Exceptions. It also includes special fields used by contingency analysis for some others objects (Area, Gen, Bus, Shunt) |
|
Geomagnetically Induced Current |
Defines additional input data and options beyond what is specified in the Network Model required to perform Geomagnetically Induced Current calculations. |
|
Transient Models |
Defines information for all the transient stability model objects |
|
Transient |
Defines input data related to performing a transient stability simulation. This includes options, plot information, what values to store to RAM, as well as Transient Contingency and Transient Limit Monitor objects. |
|
Scheduled Actions |
Defines additional input for Scheduled Actions Tool including Scheduled Actions and Scheduled Action Groups. |
|
Model Info |
Defines information for special model objects. This includes Model Filters, Model Condition, Model Expression, Model String Expression and Supplemental Data and Contained Objects |
|
Voltage Conditioning |
Defines options, voltage targets, and objects to which the voltage targets apply when using the Case Voltage Conditioning tool. |
|
Weather Dependent Limits |
Defines Weather Stations, XY Curve data, and objects to which weather data can be applied. |
|
Contingency Combination |
Defines options and Contingency Primary objects for use with the Contingency Combination Analysis tool. |
PowerWorld also plans to go through and define the following groupings of input data as hard-coded built-in Auxiliary File Export Format Descriptions. These hard-coded options will provide the user an easy way to automatically export the various input data related to particular features in the software. Some of this is already part of tools such as contingency analysis, ATC, PVQV, however the built-in auxiliary file exports on those tools also includes the solution result structures. The intent of these new features in the Auxiliary File Export Format Description is to define input data structures for sharing data between PowerWorld users. The flexibility of the auxiliary file format is great, but these hard-coded definitions will provide the user with information about which fields go with which tools.
