I/O Pins for PSS/e Data

This is an Excel file based on the provided template file in the product. This file must have these pages:

General
Pins: this page can be empty

It may also include:

Vsource
Current Injector

Note:

The I/O pins for PSS/e input files only support positive sequence components.
The bus names used in Vsource and Current Injector tabs must also follow the conventions described in the table below.

The Pins tab in the Excel file is used to define the required incoming and outgoing ports as described in Pins section. Note that only positive sequence component I/O pins are supported for PSS/e that are listed in Native Library section. For each component of the system in the RAW and DYR files, ePHASORSIM automatically creates a unique internal ID. To create an incoming or outgoing pin, this ID of the component must be declared in the Pins page of the Excel file.

The convention of creating these internal IDs is based on a combination of prefixes, the bus names, and identifiers that are given in the PSS/e RAW and DYR files. The identifiers in PSS/e RAW files are one or two-character uppercase non-blank alphanumeric. The following table lists these convention:

The Format of the identifiers in PSS/e and Excel File

PSS/e Format and Example	OPAL Format Convention	Notes
BUS 30	bus_ e.g.: bus_30
LOAD Load with ID 1 connected to bus 10	load_Z_ , load_I_ , or load_P_ e.g.: load_Z_10_1	Z, I , P reflect constant impedance, current, and power
Fixed Shunt and Switch Shunt Shunt with ID 1 connected to bus 10	fSH_ or swSH_ e.g.: fSH_10_1
GENERATOR Generator with ID G1 connected to bus 39	gen_ e.g.: gen_39_G1	Type and dynamic data are read from *.dyr file
BRANCH (line) Line with ID 1 between bus 9 and 39	line_b1_to_b2 e.g.: line_9_to_39_1
2-Winding TRANSFORMER Transformer with ID T1 between bus 2 and 30	xf_b1_to_b2 e.g.: xf_2_to_30_T1
3-Winding TRANSFORMER Transformer with ID T1 between buses 100, 101, and 102	xf_b1_b2_b3 e.g.: xf_100_101_102_T1
Excitation system Exciter at bus 37 connected to machine with ID G1	ex_ e.g.: ex_37_G1	Type and dynamic data are read from *.dyr file
Power system stabilizer PSS at bus 38 connected to machine with ID 2	pss_ e.g.: pss_38_2
Turbine-governor TG at bus 37 connected to machine with ID 1	tg_ e.g.: tg_37_1
