Model Build Wizard
A PSS/E model built in the dashboard from steady-state and control data, with no model package to start from.
About this module
What this module covers.
Build a PSS/E model for your plant in the dashboard, with no model package to start from. A two-step wizard collects the steady-state data and the control parameters, then generates the power flow and dynamic models with compliant protection settings.
Module: 083
Kind: Modeling studies
Governing body: Any region
Applies to: Before and after commercial operation
Typical time: Generated in the dashboard once the inputs are complete
Dashboard capabilities
- Two-step build wizard: Steady-State, then Dynamic control parameters
- Grid-following and grid-forming plants, supported equally: solar PV, battery storage and wind
- Protection settings: trip settings only, or trip plus IEEE 2800 ride-through curves
- Point of interconnection, main power transformer, and machine data inputs, with defaults for blank fields
- Save a draft and generate the model later
- The generated model opens in Model Verification, ready for simulation
Support services
What GridStrong does inside this module.
Final deliverables
- PSS/E power flow model of the plant
- PSS/E dynamic model with the selected protection settings
- The model on the plant's Models page, ready for verification and simulation
What we need from you
- Plant type and nameplate rating
- Point of interconnection voltage and short-circuit data
- Main power transformer ratings and impedance
- Machine data: voltage setpoint and reactive limits
- Plant controller and inverter control parameters, or accept the defaults
Assumptions and considerations
How the scope is bounded.
- The model uses generic dynamic models, not OEM-specific user models.
- Fields left blank use GridStrong defaults. Check them against your plant's real equipment before you submit a study.
- PSCAD model building is a separate module.
