For example, if a global called FREQ is used in two parameters, one whose target unit is and the other, two separate parameters are created. Each parameter created is unique according to: 1) the actual substitution, and 2) the target unit of the parameter it is used in. A second option allows users to make each global substitution available as a constant input parameter in the final blackbox component. These values will thereafter remain constant and unchangeable.
Global Substitutions: If project-based global substitutions are used within a module hierarchy that is to be blackboxed, the user has two options on how to process them: The default option is to embed (hard-code) the literal value of the global substitution upon creation of the blackbox component.
The new component definition includes prefabricated graphical port arrays to represent the network, as well as pre-scripted Branch, Transformers and Matrix-Fill segments. The blackbox module feature, first available in PSCAD v4.5 and v4.6, has been updated in V5 to include many new enhancements, including the support of electric networks in combination with control systems.Įlectric Networks Support: Starting from the top-level page module, an entire electric network, which may span across several module levels, can be collapsed into a single component, complete with multi-instance compatible, Fortran source code.
