Field of Application

This data model is intended to describe electrical power systems. It provides a hierarchical structure/schema to describe unique entity relations as well as parameter sets.

The data model is structured as the following schema:

Grid Topology

This is the base topology containing all elements of the exported grid:

• Branches (symmetrical: overhead lines, cables, fuses from type "branch")
• Nodes
• Transformers (symmetrical: 2- or 3-winding)
• External grids
• Loads (consumer, producer, grid assets)

In addition to the explicitly defined element attributes, it is possible to save user-specific additional information as optional AttributeData (Export example of powerfactory-tools).

Topology Case

This holds information about disabled elements to represent a specific operational case based on the base topology.

Steadystate Case

This holds information for a specific operational case such as:

• power draw/infeed of load
• tap posistion of transformer
• operating point of external grid

General Remarks

Please find below some important general remarks and assumptions to consider for consistent usage across different applications:

• The passive sign convention should be used for all types of loads (consumer as well as producer).
• Numeric values should be set using the SI unit convention.
• Topology
  • Only symmetrical grid assets, e.g. transformer or line, are supported.
  • The Rated Power should always be defined positive (absolute value).
• The interaction between load models and controllers are depicted in the following schematic:
