Simulator 16 User Guide - PowerWorld

Simulator models all of the system connection points: Busbars, Junctions, Terminals, etc. as buses.
Topology Bus Type
Type of connection point. Valid entries include BusbarSection, Junction, Internal_3WND, Ground.
Topology Processing provides an optional input field for buses to aid in the consolidation:
Node Priority
Priority level of the bus to become a primary bus. This overrides the default Primary Bus Priority
Scheme level for this bus.
Topology Processing determines two bus fields as part of the consolidation:
Primary Node
Bus to which all the device connection pointers in a Superbus will point to during Consolidation.
Node Neighbor List
If this is a Primary Bus, this contains a list of all buses that belong to the superbus in which this
bus is contained. This entry is blank for buses that are not primary buses.
These four bus fields are available under the Topology group in the Available Fields for the Bus Display
found on the Model Explorer.
