PSS/E | Importing a Network

This document shows the steps of importing a PSS/E model into HYPERSIM.

Step 1 - Create a new HYPERSIM model

  • Select New from File tab, then create a HYPERSIM file.

  • Select the desired folder and choose the file name, then Save it.

Step 2 - Import the PSS/E model

 

  • Select the *.raw file from PSS/E option and Import it.

 

To import a PSS/E model into HYPERSIM, it is necessary to provide the path to the *.raw file in the designated "File" text field. Alternatively, users can utilize the browse option located on the right-hand side of the field for file selection.

For importing the dynamic data, the *.dyr file must bear the identical name as the *.raw file. The system automatically selects any other files within the same directory that share the same name.

While it is possible to import a model using only a *.raw file, without an accompanying *.dyr file, it is not possible to import solely a *.dyr file.

 

The PSS/E Network Import operation generates a set of reports, which are useful, among other things, for:

  • Identifying any ignored or unsupported components.

  • Assist OPAL-RT in the identification of the cause of potential conversion issues.
