Fixed Load (1-Phase, L-L)

 

Description

This component models the load characteristics as a function of voltage magnitude and frequency, where the load real and reactive power our considered separately using the well known expressions:

 

 

And,

 

 

Where,

 

Equivalent load real power

Rated real power per phase

Load voltage

Rated load voltage (RMS, L-G)

dP/dV  Voltage index for real power

dP/dF  Frequency index for real power

Equivalent load reactive power

Rated reactive power (+inductive) per phase

dQ/dV  Voltage index for reactive power

dQ/dF  Frequency index for reactive power

NOTE: dQ, dP, dV and dF are in all per-unit quantities

Every half cycle (at the appropriate voltage zero), the shunt resistor is updated to reflect the non-linear load effect as a function of RMS voltage and frequency.  Similarly, the shunt inductor or capacitor, in parallel to the load resistor, is updated every half cycle (at its voltage zero) to reflect its non-linear characteristic.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The initial values of R, L and C are computed based on the rated conditions supplied by the user. These values are kept constant until 10 cycles of the fundamental frequency has passed.
