General Elm Components

On this page:

Note: The following is the list of components that are only supported through ePHASORSIM native library. If you are missing support for your components, you can check out the ePHASORSIM Modelica User Defined Library, there you can find out how to use the existing Modelica models or create your own Modelica model.

Common Data

The following attributes are common to all imported components:

Parameter

Description

Acceptable Values

Parameter

Description

Acceptable Values

ID / FID

Unique identifier for DGS-XML file

Any Value

loc_name

Location Name. A human readable description of the component

Any Value

outserv

Out of service

 

Note: The loc_name, ID and FID attributes are used to create the components unique name.
This name must be used when referencing IO pins as described in I/O Pins for PowerFactory Data.

Note: All components that exist in the DGS-XML file will be imported and considered to be in-service.
That means for a component that is out-of-service in PowerFactory, the Solver imports its data and treats it as in-service. Thus, it is recommended to remove the data from the input file for the components that are required to be out-of-service during simulation.
