(read/write)


This property sets/gets the generator model using an integer. It can be one of the following:


1 : Generator injects a constant kW at specified power factor.

2 : Generator is modeled as a constant admittance.

3 : Const kW, constant kV.  Somewhat like a conventional transmission power flow P-V generator.

4 : Const kW, Fixed Q (Q never varies)

5 : Const kW, Fixed Q(as a constant reactance)

6 : Compute load injection from User-written Model.(see usage of Xd, Xdp)

7 : Constant kW, kvar, but current-limited below Vminpu. Approximates a simple inverter. See also Balanced.


Example


% Create DSS object

DSSObject = actxserver('OpenDSSEngine.DSS')

if ~DSSObject.Start(0),

                    disp('Unable to start openDSS');

                    return

end;

DSSText = DSSObject.Text;

DSSCircuit = DSSObject.ActiveCircuit;

% Compile a model        

DSSText.Command = 'Compile C:\myPath\myModel.dss';

DSSGen = DSSCircuit.Generators;

% Selects the first Generator from the list

DSSGen.First;

% Gets the generator model, if it's model 1, change it to model 4

% (For the example)

if DSSGen.model == 1,

                    DSSGen.model = 4;

end;
