9.11  CONVERTER-INTERFACED RESOURCE DATA

This section contains parameters of converter-interfaced resource. The first line in the section must say:  [CONVERTER-INTERFACED RESOURCE DATA].  This is followed by the data described below.  A blank line ends the section.  The terms “voltage” and “current” below refer to positive-sequence voltage and current unless specified otherwise.

1.   Bus Name: Name of the bus to which the current source is attached, in quotation marks. 

2.   Base kV: Nominal kV of the current-source bus.

3.   In-Service Flag: 1 if the current source is in service; 0 if it is not.  The default value is 1.

4.  Number of units: Number of type-4 wind generators or solar inverter units in this plant.

5.  Unit MVA Rating

6.   Unit rated MW.

7.  Unit MW generation.

8.  Reserved field: Enter a constant 0..

9.   Maximum current output when voltage is higher than the threshold as a multiple of the full load current

10. Maximum current output transition voltage threshold

11. Maximum current output when voltage is lower than the threshold as a multiple of the full load current

12. Low voltage generator shutdown threshold in per-unit

13. High voltage generator shutdown threshold in per-unit

14. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

15. Slope of the positive-sequence reactive injection characteristics

16. Slope of the negative-sequence reactive injection characteristics

17. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

18. In-service Date: Set to 0 if not available. Otherwise enter an unsigned 32-bit integer that store the year/month/date information given by the CTime object in Microsoft Foundation Class.

19. Out-of-Service Date: Set to 0 if not available. Otherwise enter an unsigned 32-bit integer that store the year/month/date information given by the CTime object in Microsoft Foundation Class.

20. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

21. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

22. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

23. Reserved field: Enter a constant 0

24. Memo: Comments with a maximum of 512 characters.  Any alpha-numeric characters can be used, except for the string delimiter (single or double quotation mark).  The comment text is enclosed in quotation marks.

25. Tags: Tag string with a maximum of 512 characters.  Tags in string are separated by semicolon. Any alpha-numeric characters can be used, except for the string delimiter (single or double quotation mark).  The tag string is enclosed in quotation marks.

26. UDF: User-defined data fields. Enter the list of user defined field values as a tab delimited text string enclosed in single quotes.

An example voltage controlled current source data section is shown below.
