Calculating Bode Plots

Last Update - February 20, 2022

The attached example generates the Bode Plots (Magnitude and Phase) data points for a given frequency range. By default the examples uses the real pole function. The differential pole function is also included in this example. Other functions can be derivied in a similar fashion as the real and differential pole functions.

Supported Software

PSCAD V5 and GFortran v4.6.2

Instructions

  1. Download the attached file, unzip and save the contents to a local path on your machine (e.g. desktop).
  2. Launch and license PSCAD V5, and load Ex_BodePlot_PSCADV5.pscx.
  3. Ensure PSCAD is configured to use GFortran v4.6.2:

  4. Set w0 and G.

  5. Set frequency range in Multiple Run component. Can also change other settings as output file name, channels being recorded, etc.

  6. Run case (configured for GFortran 4.6.2) and view output data (in "File Reference" component that looks like a folder), or open corresponding BodePlot_PSCAD.xlsx Excel file.
