Multiphase Load

eOn this page:

The multiphase load can represent a 1, 2, or 3-phase load. Thus, there are three types of loads in this library as follows:

  • Single Phase ZIP Load

  • Two Phase ZIP Load

  • Three Phase ZIP Load

The ZIP load is a combination of constant impedance, constant current, and constant power loads. The user needs to define the portion of each part out of 1 or 100. Each load can have its own profile to vary during the simulation. The load profile can be defined with incoming pins for each phase. For example,

  • To set the active power of phase 1: loadID/P1

  • To set the reactive power of phase 1: loadID/Q1

Notes

(*) For constant current and constant power loads, if the p.u. of voltage value is over 1+Bandwidth or below 1-Bandwidth, load will change to Z type.
(**) The values of K_z, K_i and K_p must fit in the following equation: K_z + K_i + K_p = 1 or 100.

In the current version of ePHASORSIM, only Yg connection is supported for power-flow calculations.
