Question:
Actually my system having one 250KVA voltage source connected to a 250KVA transformer through 33kv source bus (SB1) and the secondary of the transformer TR1 is connected to 415V substation bus (Sub1). In the substation bus the feeders (F1 to F5) are connected as a ring network. Each feeder is loaded by 40KVA at a distance of 20meters between them. Then Feeder F3 is connected to F6 at a distance of 2meters. feeder F6 is connected to another Substation bus (Sub2) through F7,F8,F9 each at a distance of 10meters length and each are loaded with 20KVA. The Sub2 is connected to a 100KVA transformer TR2. thee other end of TR2 is connected to another Source bus (SB2) where the 100KVA Generator is connected. There was lines connecting each feeders namely L1 to L11. In this L7 is connecting F3 and F6.
**Problem Statement: **
while commenting the line L7, I cant find any of the power is shared by Generator.
can you help me to find island power delivered by generator as well as the voltage source.
**My Script **
clear
Set DefaultBaseFrequency=50
New object= circuit.practice2
Edit Vsource.Source Basekv=33 MVA=0.25 bus1=SourceBus pu=1
Islanding is possible in OpenDSS but you have to be careful. In the power flow problem formulation inside OpenDSS the DER is declared as a negative load, which is very convenient for many purposes but for islanding is a problem. You see, as a negative load there is no enough power injection to sustain a zone that's isolated from the main substation, we have discussed this topic several times in this forum and published a large amount of papers talking about it. Anyway, after seeing your model I would recommend to use a voltage source instead of a generator, it will hold your microgrid as desired but beware of the phase angle, you will have to deal with it manually.
Check the example attached.
Hai Davis,
Thanks for the example attached and in that i cant get the
unity for pu value of the voltage sources
One more thing i like to know, it is mentioned in the manual that the
OpenDSS program has been used for many analysis like which is mentioned
below
Distribution Planning and Analysis
General Multi-phase AC Circuit Analysis
Annual Load and Generation Simulations.
Can I have a explanation and example program for each of it, which may help
me to get understand the software very well. waiting for your response.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Distribution Planning and Analysis:
Yes we do that all the time, but normally those are applications implemented using external code to use OpenDSS through COM/DLL interface. These applications are implemented for us or other users out there, check the examples folder provided with the app.
General Multi-phase AC Circuit Analysis:
OpenDSS is itself multiphase my friend.
Annual Load and Generation Simulations:
Check the circuits provided with the app, for example, EPRI Ckt 7 has several load profiles for the loads across the circuit and the example provides annual simulation.
Hai Davis,
Thank you for the mail my friend. Can you please send me the Single line diagram of the EPRI Ckt 7, because while simulating it shows error in monitoring part of the script. while inspecting the script the line line.333 is not found but the monitoring element=line.333, so can you help me to simulate it.
while using openDSS in Centos a linux platform, the plot and show commands are not working. Can you help me to fix the bug too.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The plot capabilities are not avaiable in Linux environments since the plotting routines are in separate programs. These programs are not Linux compatible (yet), so, it looks like you will have to do the plotting yourself.

We have a lot of documentation provided with the program or online: https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Version8/Distrib/Doc/
