Multi-Terminal DC Line Information
This dialog is used to view and modify the parameters specific to multi-terminal DC network buses.
The dialog is also used to enter values for new multi-terminal DC buses when inserting a Multi-
Terminal DC Record.
To view the Multi-Terminal DC Bus Record dialog, right-click on a bus record in the DC Buses tab of
the Multi-Terminal DC Record dialog and select Show Dialog from the resulting popup menu. The
dialog has the following fields:
From and To DC Bus Number
The DC bus numbers of the From and To buses in the multi-terminal DC network. These fields must
contain valid DC bus numbers of the selected multi-terminal DC record. AC bus numbers from the
load flow case are not acceptable bus numbers for a multi-terminal DC line.
DC Circuit
The circuit identifier for the DC line.
DC Resitance and DC Inductance
The resistance and inductance of the DC line. Resistance is in Ohms, and is used for solving the load
flow of the DC network. The inductance is in milliHenries, and is not used for solving the load flow.
The inductance field is currently only for support of other load flow formats, and is not used by
Simulator.
