Attributes

LabelTypeMultiplicityComment
DCTerminalsACDCConverterDCTerminal0..nA DC converter have DC converter terminals. A converter has two DC converter terminals.
PccTerminalTerminal0..1Point of common coupling terminal for this converter DC side. It is typically the terminal on the power transformer (or switch) closest to the AC network.
baseSFloat0..1Base apparent power of the converter pole. The attribute shall be a positive value.
idcFloat1..1Converter DC current, also called Id. It is converter’s state variable, result from power flow.
idleLossFloat0..1Active power loss in pole at no power transfer. It is converter’s configuration data used in power flow. The attribute shall be a positive value.
maxPFloat0..1Maximum active power limit. The value is overwritten by values of VsCapabilityCurve, if present.
maxUdcFloat0..1The maximum voltage on the DC side at which the converter should operate. It is converter’s configuration data used in power flow. The attribute shall be a positive value.
minPFloat0..1Minimum active power limit. The value is overwritten by values of VsCapabilityCurve, if present.
minUdcFloat0..1The minimum voltage on the DC side at which the converter should operate. It is converter’s configuration data used in power flow. The attribute shall be a positive value.
numberOfValvesInteger0..1Number of valves in the converter. Used in loss calculations.
pFloat1..1Active power at the point of common coupling. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node. Starting value for a steady state solution in the case a simplified power flow model is used.
poleLossPFloat1..1The active power loss at a DC Pole = idleLoss + switchingLoss*
qFloat1..1Reactive power at the point of common coupling. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node. Starting value for a steady state solution in the case a simplified power flow model is used.
ratedUdcFloat0..1Rated converter DC voltage, also called UdN. The attribute shall be a positive value. It is converter’s configuration data used in power flow. For instance a bipolar HVDC link with value 200 kV has a 400kV difference between the dc lines.
resistiveLossFloat0..1It is converter’s configuration data used in power flow. Refer to poleLossP. The attribute shall be a positive value.
switchingLossFloat0..1Switching losses, relative to the base apparent power 'baseS'. Refer to poleLossP. The attribute shall be a positive value.
targetPpccFloat0..1Real power injection target in AC grid, at point of common coupling. Load sign convention is used, i.e. positive sign means flow out from a node.
targetUdcFloat0..1Target value for DC voltage magnitude. The attribute shall be a positive value.
ucFloat1..1Line-to-line converter voltage, the voltage at the AC side of the valve. It is converter’s state variable, result from power flow. The attribute shall be a positive value.
udcFloat1..1Converter voltage at the DC side, also called Ud. It is converter’s state variable, result from power flow. The attribute shall be a positive value.
valveU0Float0..1Valve threshold voltage, also called Uvalve. Forward voltage drop when the valve is conducting. Used in loss calculations, i.e. the switchLoss depend on numberOfValves * valveU0.
