AC7B initial value parameter

The parameters Ifd0 and Efd0 can be set manually by entering a numerical value. It can also be set automatically, based on load flow calculations, by entering a referenced synchronous machine variable. For instance, if the name of the synchronous machine to which the excitation system is connected is SM1, then Ifd0 and Efd0 shall be set respectively as =SM1.IfdInit and =SM1.EfdInit. The HYPERSIM® simulation option Set Initial Conditions must be checked for the automatic initialization to work properly.
