For example, edit the input date of a generator: 1). Tables for generators, loads, transmission lines can also be accessed similarly.Įdit input data: You can edit the input data directly from the one-line diagram. Under ‘Run Mode’, select ‘Buses’, for example, the table containing bus records appears. Output results can also be obtained from ‘Case Information’ menu. You can also change the items displayed in the one-line diagram. The real and reactive power output of the generators, the power flows along the lines, etc. The voltages are listed besides the buses. The results can be observed directly from the one-line diagram. Similar to other applications, all opened files are listed here Īs introduced in the textbook, The PM Simulator provides two modes, one for editing and the other for running. Providing the options for OPF calculation Providing the analyzing tools and options Once the simulation is started, an animated picture of power flow will be shown Ĭase Information: The case information, input and output are summarized in the menu Options/Tools: Start, pause, resume the simulation of the study case.

Open, save, close and print the study case The basic menu includes the following functions: File: Basic menu functions: Similar to other Windows applications, the upper part of the figure shows the menus and toolbars of the program, the bottom part shows the current working case. The features of the software are then introduced using this sample case. The following sample case is then loaded to the Simulator.

Select case b in ‘Non-Glover & Sarma Examples’ directory. Analyze a Sample Case Open a sample case by clicking ‘Open Case’ under ‘File’ menu. This appendix also helps you to get started with the software.Ģ. You are encouraged to read that section and experience the features of the program yourself. There is a brief introduction of the PW Simulator in Section 1.5 of the textbook. After installing the PW Simulator, double-click on the PW icon to start the program. The PowerWorld Simulator can be installed by following the instructions on the CD. A CD is provided together with the book to install the software. Introduction PowerWorld Simulator (PW Simulator) is a power system analysis and simulation software package that accompanies the textbook “Power System Analysis and Design” by J. Then you will create a small but complete test case to get familiar with the input/output functions and analysis tools of the program.ġ. Appendix: Case Study Using PowerWorld SimulatorĮE433 LAB Appendix: Case Study Using PowerWorld Simulator Welcome! In this brief tutorial, you will first review some useful features of the PowerWorld Simulator using a sample case.
