[GEN busnum id], [GEN "name_nomkv" id], [GEN "buslabel" id], [GEN "label"]
[LOAD busnum id], [LOAD "name_nomkv" id], [LOAD "buslabel" id], [LOAD "label"]
[BRANCH busnum1 busnum2 ckt], [BRANCH "name_kv1" "name_kv2" ckt],
[BRANCH "buslabel1" "buslabel2" ckt], [BRANCH "label"]
[SHUNT busnum id], [SHUNT "name_nomkv" id], [SHUNT "buslabel" id], [SHUNT "label"]
[destination parameters]: These parameters have different meanings depending on object
type of the element. Bus numbers must be used here.
GEN: [busnum id]
LOAD: [busnum id]
BRANCH: [busnum1 busnum2 id]
SHUNT: [busnum id]
percentage: The percentage of the device to move to the new destination. This is only valid for
generators and loads, and allows partial generation or load to be moved to the new location.
Combine([elementA], [elementB]);
NOTE: THIS ACTION IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR GENERATORS.
Use this action to combine two generators, two loads, or two transmission line. Note that elementA
and elementB must be of the same object type. You can not combine a BRANCH and a LOAD.
[elementA]: The object that should be moved. Must be one of the following formats.
[GEN busnum id]
[LOAD busnum id]
[BRANCH busnum1 busnum2 ckt]
[elementB]: The object that element A should be combined with. Must the same format as for
elementA.
SplitBus([element], NewBusNumber, InsertBusTieLine, LineOpen);
Use this action to transform one bus into two connected buses.
[element]: The bus that should be split. Must be of the following format:
[BUS num]
[BUS "name_nomkv"]
[BUS "buslabel"]
NewBusNumber: The number of the new bus resulting from the split. Must be unique, that is,
it cannot be a number that identifies another number in the case.
InsertBusTieLine Set to YES or NO. YES means to insert a very low-impedance bus tie
between the bus to split and its offspring. The new branch will have an impedance of 0.0000 +
j0.0001 ohms. NO means that no bus tie will be inserted. If this parameter is not specified, then
YES is assumed.
LineOpen Set to YES or NO. YES means that the bus tie should be inserted as an open branch.
NO means that the bus tie will be inserted as a closed branch. This options is valid only if
InsertBusTieLine is set to YES. If this parameter is not specified, then NO is assumed.
MergeBuses([element], filter);
