This section contains parameters of voltage controlled current sources. The first line in the section must say: [VOLTAGE CONTROLLED CURRENT SOURCE 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. Voltage measurement location: 0 if the voltage is measured at the current-source terminal; 1 if at the network side of the transformer.
5. MVA Rating of the Current Source
6. Max Voltage Multiplier: The current source will reduce the output current to prevent the post-fault positive-sequence voltage magnitude (at the current-source terminal) exceeds the pre-fault voltage magnitudes times this multiplier.
7. Minimum Voltage: The current source will shut down if the post-fault voltage magnitude (at the current-source terminal) is below this value in per-unit. The positive-sequence voltage is used if the “minimum voltage short down” is set to0. Otherwise the minimum-phase voltage is used.
The next 30 entries are the numbers within the data grid that describes the output of the current source as a function of the voltage.
8. Voltage Magnitude in per-unit. (Row 1)
9. Current Magnitude in amperes. (Row 1)
10. Power-Factor Angle in degrees. (Row 1): Enter a negative angle for capacitive current and a positive angle for reactive current.
11-13. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 2)
14-16. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 3)
17-19. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 4)
20-22. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 5)
23-25. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 6)
26-28. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 7)
29-31. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 8)
32-34. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 9)
35-37. Voltage Magnitude, current magnitude and power factor angle. (Row 10)
38. 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.
39. 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.
40. 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.
41. 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.
42. Minimum voltage shut down option: Set to 0 to use positive-sequence voltage for minimum-voltage shut down. Set to 1 to use minimum phase voltage. See item 7.
43. UDF: User-defined data fields. Enter the list of user defined field values as a tab delimited text string enclosed in single quotes.
