pandapower.
create_xward
(net, bus, ps_kw, qs_kvar, pz_kw, qz_kvar, r_ohm, x_ohm, vm_pu, in_service=True, name=None, index=None)¶ Creates an extended ward equivalent.
A ward equivalent is a combination of an impedance load, a PQ load and as voltage source with an internal impedance.
- INPUT:
net - The pandapower net within the impedance should be created
bus (int) - bus of the ward equivalent
ps_kw (float) - active power of the PQ load
qs_kvar (float) - reactive power of the PQ load
pz_kw (float) - active power of the impedance load in kW at 1.pu voltage
qz_kvar (float) - reactive power of the impedance load in kVar at 1.pu voltage
vm_pu (float)
- OUTPUT:
- xward id

Electric Model¶
The extended ward equivalent is a ward equivalent: with additional PV-node with an internal resistance.

The constant apparent power is given by:
The shunt admittance part of the extended ward equivalent is calculated as described here:
The internal resistance is defined as:
The internal voltage source is modelled as a PV-node (generator) with:
