1 General Description
The Static Generator is an easy-to-use model of any kind of static (no rotating) generator. Applications are:
- Photovoltaic Generators
- Fuel Cells
- Storage devices
- HVDC Terminals
- Reactive Power Compensators
- Wind Generators
Wind generators, which are connected through a full-size converter to the grid, can also be modelled as static
generators, because the behaviour of the plant (from the view of the grid side) is determined by the converter.
1.1 Basic Data

Figure 1: Basic Data for the Static Generator
The specific application of the static generator can be selected in the category box.

Figure 2: Categories
The number of parallel machines can be entered, as well as the MVA rating of a single generator. In general, the
total MW and Mvar outputs of the static generator will be the rating of a single generator multiplied by the
number of parallel machines specified. In the specific case of the Wind Generator category, the output will
additionally be affected by the Wind Generation Scaling Factor of the zone to which it belongs.

1.1.1 Zero/Negative Sequence Model
The negative sequence current is always set to zero. The zero sequence depends on the settings:
Input Parameter:
- iearthed : Earthed (option)
- r0 : Zero-sequence Resistance, r0 (hidden if ieathed is disabled)
- x0 : Zero-sequence Reactance, x0 (hidden if ieathed is disabled)

1.2 Load-Flow Analysis
1.2.1 Local Voltage Controller Options
The local voltage controller could be set to three different modes (cos, V, droop) that are described in the the
following sub chapters.
1.2.1.1 Power Factor control
This option corresponds to a PQ bus type and its block diagram is shown in Figure 7 (1). With the power factor
control the user can specify active and reactive power outputs at which the static generator will be operated (PQ
bus). The way to specify these values will depend on the Input Mode selected.

Figure 7: Voltage Controller - Options
1.2.1.2 Voltage control
This option correspondes to a PV bus type and its block diagram is shown in Figure 7 (2). Voltage control can be
done locally, i.e. the reactive power output of the generator is controlled to achieve the specified local voltage at
its terminal. The active power output is constant for the dispatch.
When this option is selected, the voltage setpoint box is enabled and its value must be entered.
1.2.1.3 Droop control
This option corresponds to a DV bus type and its block diagram is shown in Figure 7 (3). The generator can be
set to control the local voltage at its terminal to a specified setpoint. With droop control the setpoint is not
reached in any case because the setpoint is moved (by du
droop
) as more reactive power is needed to reach the
original voltage setpoint of the static generator. The advantage of the droop control is that more than one
machine at one busbar could control the voltage. As well as the participation of the single machine could be
configured with the setting of the droop value.
When set to voltage control, a droop value can be entered. The voltage at the local busbar is then controlled
according to the following equations this equations are shown graphically in Figure 8:

1.2.2 Static Generator as Slack
For load flow only it is also possible to use the static gernator as slack. For that the Active Power Control on the
load flow command has to be set as Dispatched, the balancing has to be set by Static Generator at Reference
Bus, a static generator has to be connected to the selected busbar. The local voltage controller of the slack-static
generator has to be set either to Voltage or to Droop.
1.2.3 External Station Controller
The static generator can also be part of a station controller. In such a case, the external station controller has
priority over the local voltage controler of the static generator.
The way the station controller dispatches the static generators depends on the settings of the Load Flow page for
the station controller. See technical reference of the station controller.

1.2.4 Primary frequency bias
Shortly following a disturbance, the governors of the units participating in primary control will increase/decrease
their turbine power and drive the frequency close to its nominal value. The change in the generator power is
proportional to the frequency deviation and is shared among participating units according to the gain (Kpf) of
their primary controllers, this is depicted in Figure 9. If the Active Power Control According to Primary
Control option is selected in PowerFactory's load flow command, the power balance is established by all
generators having a primary controller gain (parameter Prim. Frequency Bias from the Load Flow tab of
the static generator), according to the corresponding frequency droop.

+ dP
where
dP = dF * Kpf
dP is the change in generator output
dF is the change in frequency
Kpf is the primary controller gain parameter for the generator
1.2.5 Reactive Power Limits
The reactive power limits can be specified in two ways:
Minimum/maximum constant limits. In the case of the minimum/maximum limits, these are originally set equal to
the minimum and maximum value of the nominal reactive power. Note that the reactive power limits are
operational data and will be saved to the operation scenario if active. Along these values, a scaling factor for each
G e n e r a l D e s c r i p t i o n

S t a t i c G e n e r a t o r - 1 0 -

limit can be specified, which can be used in conjunction with the option Consider Reactive Power Limits Scaling
Factor in the Basic Options of the Load Flow Calculation dialog.
Capability Curve objects (IntQlim) allows the consideration of distinct minimum / maximum values of the
reactive power at different levels of active power injection. Capability curves are stored inside the 'Mvar Limits
Curves' folder in the Operational Library. Synchronous generators (ElmSym) and static generators (ElmGenstat)
defined in the network model can use the same Capability Curve object that is stored in the operational library.
When a capability curve is used, the dispatch of the generator always stays within its minimum and maximum
range if the option Consider Reactive Power Limits on the Load Flow command is activated.
How to create a new capability curve object is explained in the help of PowerFactory.
1.2.5.1 Applying Mvar Limits Curve from Operational Library
To apply an existing generator capability curve to a generator:
- Locate the Reactive Power Limit section in the load flow page of the static generator dialog.
- Press next to Capability Curve.
- Choose Select to look for a suitable curve in the Mvar Limit Curves folder in the Operational
library folder.
1.2.6 Active Power Limits
There are two ways to set a limit for the active power. If one of the two limits is exceeded during a load flow
calculation a warning massage will be dispayed in the output window.
The Active Power: Operational Limits are the minimum and maximum MW output limits of the generator from
an operational perspective. They have a higher prirority than the Active Power Rating limits.
The Active Power: Ratings is the maximum active power output of the generator and it is established by
multiplying the generator nameplate MVA rating by the power factor and the rating factor.
1.3 Short-Circuit Calculations
1.3.1 VDEC/IEC Short Circuit
There are three different possibilities to consider a static generator in the VDE/IEC short circuit calculation:
- No Short-Circuit Contribution (according to the standard)
- Static Converter-Fed Drive
- Individual Max. Fault Contribution

Figure 10: VDE/IEC Short Circuit Page
1.3.1.1 No Short-Circuit Contribution
In the VDEC/IEC short circuit calculations, the static generators are normally disregarded, according to the
standard (Option: No Short-Circuit Contribution).
1.3.1.2 Static Converter-Fed Drive
With the option Static Converter-Fed Drive activated the Static Gernator behaves during the VDE/IEC short
circuit calculation like a static converter-fed drive according to the IEC 60909 (VDE 0102). The static converter-
fed drives are considered for three-phase short circuits only. They only contribute to the initial symmetrical short-
circuit current I
k
and to the peak short-circuit current i
p
. They do not contribute to the symmetrical short-circuit
breaking current I
b
and to the steady-state short-circuit current I
k
. As a result, static converter-fed drives are
treated for the calculation of short-circuit currents in a similar way as asynchronous motors. The equivalent model
is shown in Figure 11.
The impedance is calculated as follow:

Maximum Short Circuit Contribution. It is calculated according to a equivalent generator model.

Note that c
max
in the calculation of x1 is needed because the current is calculated with x1 and c
max
*u. The factor
c
max
will cancel down. So that finally the subtransient short circuit apparent power is equal to the entered value.
The model is considered for the symmetrical short-circuit breaking current I
b
like an external grid:
Ik Ik Ib = =
' '

For the steady-state short-circuit current I
k
is the same value as for Ik used. This is the same approach as for
the asynchronous machine.
The Inputparameters are:
- I
k
or S
k

- X/R or R/X
For minimum short-circuits is the model completely neglected and has no short-circuit contribution.
MODEL FOR UNBALANCED FAULTS
For unbalanced faults uses the static generator the zero and negative sequence model that is already described in
section 1.1.1 Zero/Negative Sequence Model.
For minimum short-circuits is the model completely neglected and has no short-circuit contribution.
1.3.2 Complete Short Circuit
With the Complete Mehod is it possible to define a user-specific level for the subtransient and the transient short
circuit. Either as short circuit power or as short circuit current, and the R/X ratio (alternatively the X/R ratio).
The static generator model for the short-circuit calculation using the complete method is adapted as follows:

For a short-circuit at the terminal of the generator the short-circuit current is equal to the entered value of the I

and I

. For short-circuit far away the short-circuit current is nearly equal to the load flow current.
MODEL FOR UNBALANCED FAULTS
For unbalanced faults uses the static generator the zero and negative sequence model that is already described in
section 1.1.1 Zero/Negative Sequence Model.
For minimum short-circuits is the model completely neglected and has no short-circuit contribution.
1.3.2.1 Complete without load flow initialization
If the Complete Short-Circuit method is used without the option Load Flow Initialisation on the Advanced
Options page of the short-circuit calculation command the following model is used.

1.3.3 ANSI Short Circuit
There are two possibilities to use the static generator in an ANSI short circuit calculation:
- No Short-Circuit Contribution (according to the standard)
- Individual Fault Contribution
If No Short-Circuit Cinstribution is activated the static generator will be neglected in the calculation.
If the option No Short-Circuit Contribution is not enabled the Maximum Short Circuit Contribution could be
entered.

1.3.4 IEC 61361
The IEC 61361 short circuit for the static generator is calculated according to the specification. The specification
could be found in the chapter for IEC 61361 in the handbook.
1.4 Harmonics
The static generator behaves like a current source during harmonic analysis. The used equivalent model is
therefore a current source.
The harmonics tab allows to specify or select the harmonic sources object. The spectrum of harmonic infeeds
may be entered according to one of two options: balanced or unbalanced.

Figure 17: Harmonics Balanced - Unbalanced
Also, the harmonic current can refer to either the Fundamental Current or to the Rated Current.
If Rated Current is selected (Figure 18) then the phase angle is used from the initial bus voltage angle obtained
from load flow.

Figure 18: Harmonic current referred to
More information about the definition of harmonic current sources could be found in the corresponding chapter of
the handbook.

1.5 RMS Simulation
The static generator supports two different models:
- current source model
- voltage source model
Depending on which input signals are connect the current or the voltage source model is used. If both signal
combinations are connected the voltage source model is used. If no input signal is connected the static generator
behaves like a constant current source. The current values from the load flow are used.

Figure 19: Model Input (RMS)
The user can specify in both models a Minimum Operation Voltage threshold. For unbalanced simulation the
zero/negative sequence is calculated as described in chapter 1.1.1.
