PSSE Playback Model
PLBVFU1 overview

This model plays back a known set of voltage and frequency signals.

The PLBVFU1 model acts as a generator model. In using this generator model,
do not attach an AVR or governor model to the machine associated with the
PLBVFU1 model.

The played-in voltage and frequency signals must be described in a file as

shown below, with each sample described in a separate record and the values
in each line separated by spaces or commas:

Time, voltage, frequency

PSSE Playback Model
PLBVFU1 overview

The file containing the measurement has to be supplied in a file with an

extension .plb. The file name (without the .plb extension) has to be less than
or equal to 12 characters long. This file has to exist in the working folder. If the
plb file is not found, the PLBVFU1 model will keep the internal voltage and
frequency fixed at the initial value (i.e., the playback feature will be ignored).

The voltage signal which is played back is the internal (Thevenin) voltage of the
playback generator. The ZSORCE of the generator used to represent the
PLVFBU1 model should be non-zero.

The sampled voltage and frequency values may be smoothed via a first order
block with time constants Tv (for voltage signal) and Tf (for frequency signal).

Conclusion

Playback model will be a valuable tool for Model validation MOD-026, -027

Model will be available in PSSE version 34.1

The model is supplied as part of PSSE installation; therefore, use of this

model will not require compilation and link.
