Error 100 | [Various software] | Cannot find object

Relevant software:

PSS®E

PowerFactory

PSCAD™

Emitted message:

Cannot find specified object in the loaded power systems model. (<details on what object is missing>)

Description:

The gridmo Engine cannot find the specified object when running this power systems simulation.

This error occurs when the engine is looking for a bus, line, transformer, generator, load or other object that doesn't appear to exist in the model.

Potential fixes:

• There is a typo in the object name or identifier (such as a bus number, component ID, or generator name).
  • Check the object name or identifier in your gridmo web-app configuration compared to your power systems model.
• You are referencing an bus, line, transformer etc in your gridmo web-app project that doesnt exist in your power systems model.
  • Check your project's Global Variables and Scenario Variables for the object mentioned in the warning, you may have missed one reference to update.

info

Reminder that references to all objects (buses, lines transformers, generators, lines, etc.) are case sensitive in gridmo.

Potential fixes - PSS®E:

• Check the identifier (the value after the # in the gridmo definition) for generators, lines, transformers and loads.
  • It is almost always 1 - but can be any two characters and needs to match your PSS®E model.

Potential fixes - PowerFactory:

• If you are using OBJECT_NAME= or FOREIGN_KEY= arguments:
  • Make sure the object name or foreign key has the same case as the PowerFactory model.
• If you are using LINE=, TX=, GEN=, BUS= or LOAD=:
  • PowerFactory defines multiple different object types for lines, transformers, generators, loads, etc.
  • The gridmo Engine groups many of these object types into a single group and labels all of them as lines, loads, generators etc.
    • For example, GEN= will match PowerFactory types ElmSym, ElmAsm, ElmAsmsc, ElmGenstat, ElmVac, ElmIac, ElmVacbi, ElmIacbi and ElmPvsys.
    • The list of which PowerFactory model types are supported for each argument are available in the SET command reference info in the PowerFactory documentation.
  • Not all PowerFactory objects are currently grouped - if the object exists in the model but this error is still raised, consider using the OBJECT_NAME= or FOREIGN_KEY= arguments instead (and please let gridmo support know so we can implement it into a future release!)

Potential fixes - PSCAD™:

• If you are using CNAME=, make sure the component name is correct in your gridmo configuration. The component name is case sensitive.
• If you are using CIID=, check the component ID matches the value in your PSCAD™ model.
  • Right click on the component, select Attributes then the Id field. You can use Control+C to copy the ID (see below).

info

PSCAD™ component IDs can change when PSCAD™ models are updated.
