Powers
(read only)
This property returns the a complex array of powers into each conductor of each terminal for the active element.
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;
DSSLines = DSSCircuit.Capacitors;
% Compile a model
DSSText.Command = 'Compile C:\myPath\myModel.dss';
DSSActiveElement = DSSCircuit.ActiveCktElement;
% Sets the first line of the list as the active element
if DSSLines.First > 0,
% Gets the powers (P,Q) for all phases of the active element
myPowers = DSSActiveElement.Powers;
mySize = size(myPowers);
% organizes the array in complex pairs
myPQMat = []
for a = 1:2:mySize(2),
myPQMat = [myPQMat;[myPowers(a), myPowers(a + 1)]];
end;
else
disp('It seems that you have no lines!');
end;
