This package contains different types of grids that can be used to represent electrical networks. The topology of the network is specified by

the number of nodes,
the number of links,
the length of links, and
the connection between links and nodes.

Buildings.Electrical.Transmission.Grids.IEEE_34_AL120

Grid model inspired to the IEEE 34 Node test feeder

Information

This model represents a grid inspired by the IEEE 34 node test feeder. In this example, the cable types and lengths have been modified in order to represent a typical distribution feeder.

The following three type of cables are in the grid: AL120, AL70, and Al35.

Buildings.Electrical.Transmission.Grids.PartialGrid

Partial model that represents a generalized grid

Information

This abstract grid model specifies the topology of the network by

the number of nodes,
the number of links,
the length of links, and
the connection between links and nodes.

The picture below describes the meaning of the values contained in the matrices.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.MaterialProperty (Icon for property classes).

Buildings.Electrical.Transmission.Grids.TestGrid2NodesMedium

Simple model of a grid with 2 nodes and 1 link for medium voltage

Information

This model represents a simple grid with two nodes and a single link between them. This model differs from Buildings.Electrical.Transmission.Grids.TestGrid2Nodes because it defines a medium voltage cable instead of a low voltage cable.
