Excitation Limiters

Note: The excitation limiters data comes from ElmDsl sections in the DGS-XML file. The following tables outline the required parameters for each excitation limiter that is accessible through the .

The version of the ElmDsl components can be determined using the following pattern:

Version	Type Prefixes

Version	Type Prefixes
PowerFactory 2022 and prior versions	Overexcitation limiters: oel_
PowerFactory 2022 and prior versions	Underexcitation limiters: uel_
PowerFactory 2023 and more recent versions	Overexcitation limiters: oel_PSSE_
PowerFactory 2023 and more recent versions	Underexcitation limiters: uel_PSSE_

uel_UEL2, uel_PSSE_UEL2

These PowerFactory components are mapped to UEL2 limiter exciter of the Native Library.
