StandardLoad
Package: PowerOperationsOpenAPIModels · Source: Operations/StaticInjection/StandardLoad.json
A voltage-dependent ZIP load, most commonly used for dynamics modeling.
A StandardLoad breaks the ZIP into three pieces: Z (constant impedance), I (constant current), and P (constant power), according to P = P_P * V^0 + P_I * V^1 + P_Z * V^2 for active power and Q = Q_P * V^0 + Q_I * V^1 + Q_Z * V^2 for reactive power. (Voltage V is in per unit.)
For an alternative exponential formulation of the ZIP model, see ExponentialLoad. For a simpler load model with no voltage dependency, see PowerLoad.
