regulator tap position

[Almanach]

I have question about object recorder.

I need to know where is the tap position, during simulation.
I used object meter but it record only start tap position.

object regulator_configuration {
name reg852;
connect_type WYE_WYE;
band_center 22000;
band_width 1100;
time_delay 30.0;
raise_taps 16;
lower_taps 16;
current_transducer_ratio 350;
power_transducer_ratio 40;
compensator_r_setting_A 1.5;
compensator_x_setting_A 3.0;
compensator_r_setting_B 1.5;
compensator_x_setting_B 3.0;
compensator_r_setting_C 1.5;
compensator_x_setting_C 3.0;
regulation 0.10;
Control LINE_DROP_COMP;
control_level INDIVIDUAL;
}

object recorder {
parent reg852;
property tap_pos_A, tap_pos_B, tap_pos_C;
file "tapposition.csv";
interval 3600;
}

Where is the problem?

Lot of THX.

Hi Almanach,

The properties you are recording are probably not the ones you intended to. The properties you want are tap_A, tap_B and tap_C.

I hope that helps

Almanach,

"configurations" are libraries to describe the parameters of a commonly used object (say, like a configuration of wye-wye transformer that is used many times in the simulation). You will still need to create a regulator object as part of your model. As an example:

object regulator_configuration {
    connect_type WYE_WYE;
    name auto_regulator;
    raise_taps 16;
    lower_taps 16;
    regulation 0.1;
    Type A;
    Control LINE_DROP_COMP;
    compensator_r_setting_A 0.7; 
    compensator_r_setting_B 0.7; 
    compensator_r_setting_C 0.7;
    compensator_x_setting_A 1.6;
    compensator_x_setting_B 1.6;
    compensator_x_setting_C 1.6;
    power_transducer_ratio 60;
    band_center 120;
    band_width 1.5;     
}

object regulator {
    name Regulator;
    phases ABCN;
    from InterNode;
    to TopNode;
    configuration auto_regulator;
}

The values in regulator_configuration are initial conditions. The time series values are as Kelvin mentioned, in the regulator object (not the regulator_configuration object).
