Error 123 | [Various software] | Could not find a matching version of the software to launch


Relevant software:

PSS®E
PowerFactory
PSCAD™


Emitted message:

Could not find a matching version of the software to launch - given the version requested

Description:

PSS®E, PowerFactory and PSCAD™ Nodes in the gridmo Web-app have a field on the Advanced tab which allows the selection of a specific version (or partial version) of the software to launch.

This error means the version (or partial version) in this Advanced tab field is not available to the gridmo Engine which ran this simulation.

tip

Prior to gridmo Engine v1.5.0, the version matching algorithm required the exact version to be specified.

If you have recently updated to the latest gridmo Engine version, you may need to update the version you specified in the Advanced tab to a partial version as explained below.

Possible impact:

  • The simulation will fail to start as the requested software version cannot be launched.

Potential fixes:

danger

gridmo's standard Templates use the following Global Variables for version in the PSS®E, PowerFactory and PSCAD™ Nodes.

  • $psse_version
  • $powerfactory_version
  • $pscad_version

You may need to update the definition of one or more of these variables based on the fixes below.

Check the version field is the version you want to run

Review the Node that raised this error and confirm the version in the Advanced tab field is the version you want to run.

This version of the software must be present on the gridmo Engine machine. If it is not, you will need to install it or use a different version.

tip

If you have recently installed a new PSS®E, PowerFactory or PSCAD™ version, you will need to repeat the gridmo Engine setup to detect the new version(s) before launching simulations.

Blank the version field to use the default version

You only need to specify the version in the Advanced tab if you need to use a specific version of the software.

If you leave the version field blank, gridmo will use the default version selected during gridmo Engine setup (which is also shown in the gridmo Engine's Settings window).

Use a partial version

gridmo Engine v1.5.0 supports partial versions.

For example, a gridmo Engine has the following available PSS®E versions: 34.9.5, 35.2.0 and 35.3.0.
