Template library

We provide and maintain a library of templates and example outputs for different grid codes.

Template library version

To support the growing complexity of projects and grid codes, we have created a new version of the template library which fully utilizes the latest features in gridmo such as:

  • Global subplots
  • Operating conditions
  • PSCAD™ only initialization
  • And more!

For new regions, templates will only be created in the new template library version.

For existing regions, the legacy version will be supported until all existing templates have been migrated to the latest version of the template library.

For existing regions which support both versions of the template library, we recommend using the new template library version.

Disclaimer​

Templates in this library have been provided for the benefit of gridmo users and the broader industry. You must not rely on the contents of these templates or output data and results generated from the template prima facie without regard to other considerations and engineering due diligence. gridmo makes no representation or guarantee that you will achieve any specific project result, such as acceptance of generator technical performance standards or any other regulatory milestone, by using or submitting the modelling results without your independent review, assessment, and due diligence.

Models​

Due to confidentiality obligations, we can't provide templates using OEM-specific/project-specific models. The library utilises the following generic models which are installed with the Engine:

note

The wecc-solar model has the following known issues/limitations:

  • Power factor control: This control mode is not available.
  • Source energy control: This control mode is not available in PSS®E.
  • Benchmarking: There are some benchmarking inconsistencies between the PSS®E, PSCAD™ and PowerFactory models.
  • Performance: The models have not been tuned for a specific SCR or X/R.

gridmo is a software platform helping engineers conduct grid connection studies, rather than an OEM/model builder. We decided to publish our template/results with these known model issues/limitations in an effort to display the capability of our platform, rather than the performance of an untuned generic model.
