PowerFactory

PF → GDF

The PowerFactoryExtractor generates a CoreModel object from a PF study case. First, the supported blocks are extracted, then all nodes are iterated over to extract the connections between the blocks.

Supported Blocks

• Bus (ElmTerm)

• Load (ElmLod)

• 2-Winding Transformer (ElmTr2)

• 3-Winding Transformer (ElmTr3)

• Line (ElmLne)

• Synchronous Machine (ElmSym)

  • Exciters

    • avr_ESST1A

    • exc_IEEE_ST1A

  • PSS

    • pss_CONV

    • pss_IEEE_PSS1A

  • Governors

    • gov_IEEEG1

    • gov_IEEE_IEEEG1

• Ward Equivalent (ElmVac)

• Impedance (ElmZpu)

• External Grids (ElmXnet)

• Switches (ElmCoup)

Implementation

The PowerFactoryExtractor is implemented as a class that inherits from the BaseExtractor class. It uses the project name and study case name as a tuple to identify the model.

The importer is implemented in the PowerFactoryExtractor class and mostly maps components directly.
