Hello Team, I am grateful to have you here to solve many of the issues I am facing. It has been a great help. At the moment, I am trying to look deeper into the billing modes and pricing. I want to understand how the simulation works for HOURLY billing modes and how are power_market defined to generate prices. I have been following the wiki but it only gives a brief description. Is there any other documentation that explains how meter, billing and pricing system is integrated in Gridlab-D? I am also...

Yes, I have HELICS installed in the machine, I am assuming it was the helics.dll file that needed to be in the PATH environment. Thank you for the answer and the detailed instruction.
Hello Frank, Thank you for clarifying the question. I appreciate you taking your time to help me understand. At this time, I am providing the glm model with positive_sequence_voltage at the substation and constant_power_A, constant_power_B and constant_power_C in the load object as inputs. My doubt previously was, are these inputs enough for the downstream devices to influence current, power and voltage at a certain timestep in a simulation? - from your answer I can understand that providing current...
Dear GridLAB-D Discussion Group, I am currently facing an issue with running GridLAB-D on my Windows machine. I downloaded the .exe file from the official GitHub release (v5.0) and successfully installed the software from this link https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/releases. However, when attempting to run a .glm file containing a module connection and object helics_msg, I encountered the following error: "the file connection.dll cannot be found. class 'helics_msg' is not known." I have referred...
Thank you for the answers. I am quite clear now that I can use the constant power values and update it at every timestep. For the second question, I want to clarify my objective. In the model I am using, there is the substation at the very beginning and does not have direct loads. I have been feeding the positive_sequence_voltage in the substation and letting the solver calculate every other parameters. Previously I assumed, giving the power consumption values in the load can dictate how much current...

Hello Team, I am having a bit difficulty in introducing power consumption data into a gridlabd model. I am using HELICS to introduce the data into the model during a simulation. These are the data that I have in my dataset that is read from a meter of a building. This data gives values below for series of timestamps. array(['Current3PhaseAverage', 'CurrentUnbalancePhaseA', 'ApparentPowerPhaseC', 'CurrentUnbalancePhaseB', 'ApparentPowerPhaseB', 'CurrentUnbalancePhaseC', 'ApparentPowerPhaseA', 'VoltagePhaseAtoB',...

Hi, I am integrating gridlabd with helics and NS3 to try and make network controls over the gridlabd model. For that, I am looking for some gridlabd objects that can be remotely controlled or some kind of controllable object that can decide the physical response of the electrical system. So far I have not found any object in gridlabd that can make any changes in physical electrical flow and which can be remotely configured. If there are any such objects - maybe not yet documented and are available...
Hi, I have a quick question on this. The Json file gives many syntax errors. To be specific: "Unexpected end of string". How does the federate run with these errors in Json syntax.
Hello, I am trying to integrate gridlab-d to helics. I checked previsous discussion that mentioned helics 2.x is needed for latest gridlab-d and for the latest helics, the gridlabd branch feature/1279 should be used. I decided on going for helics 3 and gridlabd feature/1279 However I could not find the specific branch in gridlab-d github repository so I was thinking if there has been some updates to it or has it been merged? Best Regards, Barsha
Hi, I am currently in a research project that uses Gridlab-d for simulation. I am trying to explore the Gridlabd and right now I am having difficulty in adding capacitor bank to a model. I am trying to use this class: http://gridlab-d.sourceforge.net/doxygen/3.0/ from the documentation but I get the error saying: class 'capbank' is not known EF.glm(340): load failed at or near 'object capba...' I am using the capbank as a link object as below: object capbank { name n21n23; from n21; to n23; KVARrated...
Hi Davis, thanks for response on this question. I was however facing issues while converting opendss-g master.dss to gridlab-d. There were many errors related to the DSS file. I could not figure out what exactly the errors "attached in the example" meant. However I suppose the ditto expects the dss file to have certain configurations on opendss-g model. If you are aware of the conversion through ditto and have any assumption where I might have missed in modeling the OpenDss-G project it would be...
Hello, I have an OpenDSS-G model for a research project. I have a bunch of dss files with the dsp file in the project folder. My requirement is to convert this opendss-g project to gridlab-d. I found a few tools that changes dss file to glm files but nothing for the dsp file. My question is: Is there any way to replicate opendss-g project to glm to use in gridlab-d. Or, is there a solution to use opendss-g project for simulation in gridlab-d?
Thank you Davis. That worked well!
Hello, I have just been learning OpenDSS-G. I am creating buses and lines so far, but at times I have to delete a specific line. I am not being able to find how the lines can be deleted. I have been deleting the buses to get rid of the lines, but now, the structure is getting complex and deleting a bus would delete a lot of lines. I was not able to locate the solution for this in the manual. Question 2 : when we create a line connecting two buses and have to add recloser/circuitbreaker, does adding...
