A Synchronous Machine connected to the system to provide inertia or reactive power support.
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. |
bus | integer | yes | — | ID of the bus that this component is connected to. |
reactive_power | number | yes | MVAr / pu (by power_units) | Initial reactive power set point of the unit. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MVAr, COMPONENT_BASE: pu . |
rating | number | yes | MVA / pu (by power_units) | Maximum AC side output power rating of the unit. Not to be confused with base_power. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MVA, COMPONENT_BASE: pu . |
reactive_power_limits | MinMax | — | MVAr / pu (by power_units) | Minimum and maximum reactive power limits. Set to null if not applicable. in psy5 a required param with an option to be nothing Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MVAr, COMPONENT_BASE: pu . |
base_power | number | yes | MVA | Base power of the unit for per unitization. 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. |
active_power_losses | number | — | MW / pu (by power_units) | Active power loss incurred by having the unit online. Units: per power_units — NATURAL_UNITS: MW, COMPONENT_BASE: pu . |
dynamic_injector | integer or null | — | — | ID of the corresponding dynamic injection device, if any. |
