Property

Description

Cluster_num

The cluster number

Element

Name (Full Object name) of element to which is the virtual leader of this cluster.

Terminal

Number of the terminal of the circuit element to which the virtual leader is connected. 1 or 2, typically.

Nodes

Nodes connected to this FMonitor. Example:(Nodes=33)

ElemTableLine

Define each node within this cluster. 

The first entry of this vector is the number of node within cluster; The second is bus name; The third is the measured element name; The forth is terminal number; The fifth is voltage base; The last the control gain of network level control. .

CommVector

Define the communication vector of each node in this FMonitor. The first entry of this vector is the node number.

T_intvl_smpl

The time period that indicates the information of each agent will be sampled at each node. T_intvl_smpl is also the minimal communication time between neighbor nodes. If T_intvl_smpl=0.0, no delay for the communication is enabled in the simulation

MaxLocalMem

The max number of local memory size of each agent. No larger than 99.

b_Curt_Ctrl

Set P curtailment on/off; b_Curt_Ctrl=True: P curtailment will be implemented according to the system voltage (default); b_Curt_Ctrl=False: P curtailment will not be implemented.Set the time delay between agents in this FMonitor. The first entry of this vector is the number of the node. The example show node #2 can communicate to node #1 and #3 with time delay t1 and t2 seperately

CommDelayVector

Set the time delay between agents in this FMonitor. The first entry of this vector is the number of the node. The example show node #2 can communicate to node #1 and #3 with time delay t1 and t2 seperately

up_dly

Delay time to upper level. For example: "up_dly := 0.05"

It can be used to simulate the time delay between clusters

Volt_limits_pu

Define the voltage limits of this cluster, will be used on the network level control. 

Exmaple "Volt_limits_pu={a0,a1, a2}"

a0: the phase number, 0 means pos. seq; a1: upper voltage limit of this cluster, usually 1.05;

a2: upper voltage limit of this cluster, usually 0.95

EGen 

{kVA_fm, M_fm, D_fm, Tau_fm, Ki_fm,init_time}

where equations are:

(1):delta''=omega

(1):M_fm * omega''=puPm - puPe - D_fm*omega

(1):Tau_fm*Pm ''=Ki_fm * omega 

puPm = Pm / kVA_fm, puPe = Pe/ kVAM_fm;

everything is zero within init_time(default value is 0.5s);

k_dltP is the coordinator for PV control input: u_i = k_dltP * pu_DltP + omg_fm.
