Specifies the DC control mode for each converter, either Out-Of-Service, Voltage, or Power.
AC Setpoint
Specifies the AC control mode for each converter, either per unit Voltage or Power Factor. If the
AC control mode is set to Voltage and the other converter is out of service, it acts as an SVC.
Regulated Bus, Remote Regulation %
When the AC mode is Voltage, the Regulated Bus does not have to be the converter AC terminal.
If this is blank, it signifies it regulated its own terminal. For more information on Remote
Regulation, refer to the Generator Information Power and Voltage Control page.
A loss, B loss
The converter losses for each end are defined as:
Minimum Loss
If this field is specified, it sets a lower bound on the value calculated from Aloss, Bloss and IDC
Maximum AC MVA
Converter MVA rating specified in MVA. If set to 0, there is no limit.
Maximum AC Current
Converter current rating in amps. If set to 0, there is no limit.
Power Weighting Factor
Power weighting factor is a value between 0 and 1. It is used to reduce real and reactive power
when limits are hit.
Maximum Mvar
Maximum Mvar injection into the AC network. This is used only when the AC mode is Voltage.
Minimum Mvar
Minimum Mvar injection into the AC network. This is used only when the AC mode is Voltage.
Flows and Voltages Tab
These fields are not editable.
AC MW Flow
The real power flow on the AC side of the converter.
