DC Lines Display

See Also

 

The DC Line Display presents data describing each dc line in the case. The DC Line Display is a class of Case Information Display and therefore can be used in a manner consistent with all other case information displays. It has a local menu from which you can print, copy, and modify its records as well as view the information dialog of its associated dc lines. You can also sort the dc line records by clicking on the heading of the field by which you want to sort. Additionally, you can choose to restrict the records shown by the DC Line Records Display according to the constraints of the area/zone/owner filters.

To show the dc line records display, select Network > DC Transmission Lines in the Model Explorer, and click on the DC Lines tab.

 

By default, the dc line records display contains the following fields:

Number

Each dc line must be assigned a unique number, typically between 1 and 40.

Rect AC Number, Rect AC Name, Rect MW, Rect Mvar

Number and name of the rectifier bus, and the real and reactive power flow from the rectifier into the dc line. You may right-click on any of the rectifier-related fields and select Quick Power Flow List or Bus View from the local menu to view additional information about the rectifier bus.

Inv AC Number, Inv AC Name, Inv MW, Inv Mvar

Number and name of the inverter bus, and the real and reactive power flow from the inverter into the dc line. You may right-click on any of the inverter-related fields and select Quick Power Flow List or Bus View from the local menu to view additional information about the inverter bus.

Control Mode

Specifies how flow on the dc line is controlled. If this field is set to Power, then the line’s MW flow is the control parameter. If the control mode is defined as Current, then the line’s current is the control parameter.

Setpoint Magnitude, Setpoint Location

Specifies the initial value of the control parameter, which is expressed either in MW or in amps depending on the dc line’s control mode. The Setpoint Location indicates if the setpoint should be set at the Inverter or Rectifier end of the DC line.

Set kV

Specifies the voltage of the dc line in kV.
