Used to represent switches and breakers connecting AC Buses.

Properties

Property	Type	Required	Unit	Description
id	integer	yes	—	Unique integer identifier for this component.
name	string	yes	—	Name of the component. Components of the same type (e.g., PowerLoad) must have unique names, but components of different types (e.g., PowerLoad and ACBus) can have the same name.
available	boolean	yes	—	Indicator of whether the component is connected and online (true) or disconnected, offline, or down (false). Unavailable components are excluded during simulations.
active_power_flow	number	yes	MW / pu (by power_units)	Initial condition of active power flow on the line. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MW, COMPONENT_BASE: pu .
reactive_power_flow	number	yes	MVAr / pu (by power_units)	Initial condition of reactive power flow on the line. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MVAr, COMPONENT_BASE: pu .
arc	integer	yes	—	An Arc defining this line from a bus to another bus.
base_power	number	yes	MVA	System base power for per-unitization of this component’s per-unit fields, recorded per component in lieu of a system-level table. Units: MVA.
power_units	string (UnitSystem)	yes	—	Unit basis for this component’s power-family fields (active/reactive/apparent power, ratings, limits, ramp rates). COMPONENT_BASE: per unit on this component’s own base_power. NATURAL_UNITS: the field’s physical unit.
r	number	yes	pu	Resistance. Per-unit on base_power, which records the system base. Units: pu.
x	number	yes	pu	Reactance. Per-unit on base_power, which records the system base. Units: pu.
rating	number	yes	MVA / pu (by power_units)	Thermal rating. Flow on the branch must be between -rating and rating. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MVA, COMPONENT_BASE: pu .
discrete_branch_type	string	—	—	Type of discrete control.
branch_status	string	—	—	Open or Close status.
normal_branch_status	string	—	—	Normal (as-designed) open or close status of the device.
